In a small sauce pan add a couple tablespoons of the oil, on a low heat fry the garlic. When outside of garlic turns golden brown add capers & anchovies & pepper flakes. Pulverize into a paste with the back of a wooden spoon.

Remove pan from heat. Add vinegar & parsley incorporating into the mixture. Once mixture has had a chance to cool down for a minute, slowly stir in the rest of the olive oil and adjust the seasoning.

Allow salsa mix to sit out & rest for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to incorporate.

Meanwhile, hard boil your eggs. Once cooled, cut your boiled in half length-wise. Drizzle the salsa verde atop & serve!
