Green Sauce (Vegan, Gluten-free)

In Germany, I lived in the area around Frankfurt am Main for a while. Shortly after I had moved there, people told me about one of their regional food specialties: green sauce. I thought that it sounded pretty odd and couldn’t imagine how it could taste.

Well, it didn’t take long find out – and I was impressed! It’s a pretty healthy dish because you use a big bunch of fresh & raw herbs. There are actually 7 herbs used in the traditional recipe.

I can’t remember those herbs, but I created my own version which is just as yummy.

You can basically use any kind of flavoursome herb such as parsley, chives, young beetroot leaves, borage, onion, garlic, rocket, dill, mint, dandelion etc.
