Why This Recipe Works

For a sauce that really stood out, we combined bright lemon juice, fresh chopped parsley, meaty (not fishy) minced anchovies, briny capers, and heady garlic with creamy olive oil. Zippy and fresh, it paired beautifully with our savory pork roast, creamy potatoes crisped in pork drippings, and tender asparagus spears.
