Description
Mild Green Sauce of Modena

This mild green sauce has a base of chopped hard-cooked eggs, parsley, and olive oil, seasoned with garlic, lemon zest, and capers.

It is used with the "Modena Meatloaf Polpettone alla Modenese. This should not be confused with the Piquant Green Sauce that goes with the Genoese Cappon Magro.
