For the Parsley & Caper Dressing
- 2 tbsp capers, drained
- Small bunch flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- Chop Ingredients: Finely chop the drained capers and the flat-leaf parsley by hand to release their flavors and create a textured base for the dressing.
- Mix the Dressing: Place the chopped capers and parsley into a bowl, then stir in the Dijon mustard, olive oil, and red wine vinegar until well combined to form a smooth and tangy dressing.
- Optional Blitzing: For a smoother consistency, transfer all ingredients into a mini chopper or food processor and blitz until reaching your desired smoothness.
- Serve and Store: Serve the dressing immediately with lamb chops and potatoes, or store chilled in an airtight container for up to three days to maintain freshness and flavor.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh flat-leaf parsley rather than curly parsley.
- Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard to taste depending on desired sharpness.
- The dressing can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to three days.
- If preferred, lightly rinse the capers before chopping to reduce saltiness.
- This dressing pairs excellently with grilled or roasted meats, especially lamb and potatoes.
