Basil, dill, tomatoes … and olives and anchovies! 26 April 2006

Oh, and arugula! We concocted this up from fresh herbs from the garden. A great accompaniment to any plain-ish meat, fish or chicken dish to clean the palate. Takes a few minutes! Try it and tell me what you think….

You need:
arugula, a handful
dill, several sprigs
basil leaves, about a handful
tomatoes, 5-6 pieces roughly diced
black olives, 5-6 pieces (get the unpitted kind and depit yourself - much more flavorful!)
anchovies, about 5-7 pieces
garlic, one clove
olive oil, a generous drizzle
lemon, a generous drizzle, half a lemon will do
black pepper

You just:
Roughly chop your anchovies with the garlic clove and put in serving container. Roughly chop all other ingredients (arugula, basil, dill, tomatoes, black olives) and toss in. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon.  Add some freshly ground black pepper. Toss quickly and serve!
