Ingredients

Anchovy fillets in oil, drained (30g / 6 fillets; good quality — Ortiz recommended) Wild garlic leaves (20g; or substitute 1 garlic clove plus chives) Fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (15g / 3 tbsp) Small capers, rinsed (15g / 1 tbsp) Lemon juice (15ml / 1 tbsp) Extra-virgin olive oil (45ml / 3 tbsp) Black pepper (¼ tsp)

Method

1. Finely chop anchovy fillets, wild garlic, parsley, and capers together on a board until the mixture approaches a rough paste but retains slight texture. 2. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil. Season with black pepper. Taste before adding any salt - the anchovies provide significant salinity. 3. Set aside at room temperature to serve. Can be made up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated; the garlic will intensify overnight.
