1 cup loosely packed mixed fresh tender herb leaves, such as dill, tarragon, chives, lemon balm, basil, spearmint, chervil, and/or fennel fronds
2 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon finely chopped brined capers
2 oil-packed anchovy fillets, finely chopped

Preparation

  1. Chop the parsley, herbs, and sliced scallions very fine. Put them in a small bowl and add the capers, anchovies, egg yolk, salt, pepper, and chile flakes to taste.
