It generally consists of parsley with garlic, hard-boiled egg yolks, breadcrumbs, vinegar, salt, pepper and oil but can also include capers and anchovies (in Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany and Piedmont) or pickled onions, pine nuts and/or boiled potato (in Bologna). Whatever the combination, it is the perfect aromatic accompaniment to boost the flavour of meat and fish dishes.
