Add capers and a teaspoon of oil and continue mashing. Add parsley and the rest of the oil and mash back into a loose paste. 3.In a small bowl, combine contents of mortar along with tomatoes and olives. Depending on how well you rinsed anchovies, you may or may not need the salt so taste first. Add pepper and reserve this sauce for later.
