Method
Place the fresh herbs in a food processor, removing any woody stalks where necessary.
Add the anchovies, garlic, mayonnaise and soured cream then blend until a vibrant green sauce comes together.
Add the lemon juice then briefly blend again. Season with salt and pepper, taste and adjust with more lemon juice if desired, then blend one final time.

Recipe tips
This recipe is extremely versatile when it comes to herb usage. Use whatever you have to hand but be mindful of the dominancy of some herbs – such as mint, tarragon and chives – and their overpowering nature. Find a nice balance of flavours that allows all of them to shine.
