Method

  1. 1

    Chop the herbs. Chop the mint and parsley finely with a sharp knife so they stay bright green.

    Combine. Put the herbs in the jug with the oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper and stir well.

  3. 3

    Rest. Leave for 10 min so the flavours blend.

  4. 4

    Serve. Stir again and spoon over sliced roast lamb.

Storage

Best on the day; keep covered in the fridge for up to 1 day. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
