Aliter Assaturas (Another Sauce for Roast Meat) is a traditional Ancient Roman recipe for a spiced sauce flavoured with fish sauce and served as a condiment for cold meats. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic Ancient Roman version of Aliter Assaturas.
6 scruples each of parsley, laser, ginger, 5 laurel berries, sufficient seasoning, 6 scruples each of asafoetida root, oregano, and galingale, a little costmary, 3 scruples of pyrethrum, 6 scruples of celery-seed, 12 scruples of pepper, and sufficient liquamen and oil.
The recipe is simplicity itself: Blanch the chopsuey greens for 10 seconds in boiling water, rinse under a cold tap and chop then mix all the ingredients together and serve as a condiment for roast meat. The original recipe calls for pyrethrum, a form of chrysanthemum that's toxic. I've replaced this in the recipe with chopsuey greens. You could also use common daisy or ox-eye daisy greens.
