Like the Italian salsa verde, this is a simple, easy-to-make sauce for any grilled fish or meat, and Rick Stein thinks it is perfection with a grilled veal chop

Ingredients

  • 4 x 500g veal chops, cut about 2.5 cm thick

For the green sauce

  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 4 tbsp capers, well rinsed
  • 20g flat-leaf Parsley
  • 10g mint leaves
  • 30g mixed watercress and tarragon
  • 6 tbsp extra-virgin Olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • juice of 1/2 Lemons, (about 1½ tablespoons)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. If you are using a charcoal barbecue, light it 40 minutes before you want to start cooking. If you are using a gas barbecue, light it 10 minutes beforehand. Otherwise preheat the grill to high.

2. For the sauce, coarsely chop the garlic cloves and then put into a small food processor with the capers, parsley, mint, mixed leaves and oil and blend for a few seconds into a coarse paste. Spoon into a bowl and stir in the lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt and 20 turns of the black pepper mill.

3. Brush the veal chops on either side with a little more oil and season well with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through but still moist inside and with a slight pink blush. If you have a meat thermometer it should register 60°C in the centre of the meat. Serve
