- 3Change the parsley to cilantro, the lemon to lime, the olive oil to tomatillos, and the capers and anchovy for onion and jalape o to make a basic Mexican salsa verde.
- 4Combine parsley, lemon zest, and garlic to make Italian gremolata.
- 5Add cilantro, olive oil, cumin, and green chili to the gremolata base to make the spicy green Zhoug from Yemen.
- 6Replace the green chili with paprika in the Zhoug base to make a Moroccan Chermoula.
- 7Swap out the parsley for mint, add green chili, ginger, and cumin to make a basic green chutney from India.
- 8Combine basil, olive oil, garlic, pine nuts, and parmesan for an Italian pesto.
