These are bright, punchy, and completely capable of lifting any mood. I make a rough salsa verde sauce and stir it straight through the mince, shape it into little patties, fry them off until golden, then throw in some cherry tomatoes to blister and capture the summer mood. The tomatoes burst into sweetness, the pan gets deglazed with lemon, I pile it on some sort of grain, and dinner somehow looks more thought-out than it ever was. We’ve been returning to this one again and again.
