- Let's gather the ingredients. Start by hard-boiling the egg: choose a large one, set it in a small pot, and cover it completely with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Run the pot under cold water for a couple of minutes, then peel the egg, cut it in half, and let it cool completely. Meanwhile, rinse the parsley, picking out the sprigs with tender stems and leaves. Pat it dry with paper towels, then finely chop the leaves with a sharp knife. Soak the salt-packed capers in cold water for 10 minutes to draw out the extra salt, then chop them finely as well. Peel the garlic and cut each clove into a few pieces. Add the chopped parsley, capers, and garlic to a blender or food processor, along with the anchovies and the egg halves (cut each half into a few pieces if you like). Pour in the lemon juice — freshly squeezed is a must! Blend everything together until creamy, scraping down the sides as needed so the mixture comes out fairly smooth. Drizzle in the olive oil, pulse briefly, and let the sauce rest for 5 minutes. Stir in salt, then taste and adjust as needed. The salsa is ready to serve right away in a pretty bowl, or store it in an airtight container and bring it out as you go. It keeps in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
