HERE COMES SOMA RECIPE #3

And now....all the way from St. Louis and via Alice Waters and Chez Panisse we have SOMA RECIPE #3, -- SALSA VERDE -- reportedly incredibly easy!!! But is it??...ill have to try and find out. Remember the criteria SOMBA chefs have to abide by: the whole thing including the buying has to be done in one hour!!! And can be totally executed by a gorilla or a professor of anthropology within the time limit. Our St. Louis Julia Child is Jane, who hails from Cape Town too. She had an initial problem understanding that the recipes simply had to come to me via e mail and had instead decided to unilaterally post it where many of the single men and women around the country could not see it. Fortunately she now has realized that to get your post published on the main site you write mjptv1@gmail. Here again from the lovely JANE is:

INCREDIBLY EASY:Salsa Verde. This is a sauce you can cook shrimp, seafood or fish in. You just mix these things together and let sit (you can also sit). To make this with shrimp, let shrimp sit in it for a little while (30 minutes or so ). Then put it all in a frying pan....and cook until shrimps are pink. It sYUMMY and oh so easy. Diana will attest to its delishness- she had in SF with us.
RECIPE:
Combine in a small bowl: 1/3 cup coarsely chopped parsley leaves and thin stems , Grated zest of one lemon (that means grate the yellow skin...not the white pithy bit),1 garlic clove mashed,1 tablespoon capers,(rinsed and coarsely chopped ), 1/2 cup good olive oil, fresh ground black pepper. Adjust with salt to taste. Then let it sit-- and let shrimp (or whatever) marinate in it. Then cook and EAT. Rub tummy. Make sounds of satisfaction.Thank sister.THE END

  1. Somba Recipe #3 auteur would like to tell you that this takes about 5 minutes to make the sauce. And then about ten minutes to cook the shrimp. I don't do anything that's labor intensive. It's GREAT!
