- 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Steps
- Combine all the ingredients except the oil, vinegar and water in a large bowl and mix together well, ensuring all the herbs and spices (especially the salt) are distributed evenly.
- Allow to rest for 30 minutes.
- Bring the vinegar and water to the boil, add to the other ingredients and mix well. This helps to soften the taste of the onion and garlic.
- Allow to rest for 30 minutes.
- Add the oil and mix well. If the liquid part doesn't cover the ingredients add oil water and vinegar in a 2:1:1 ratio to cover them.
- Transfer to an air-tight container and refrigerate overnight at least, or better, for a few days.
- When needed, remove from refrigerator about 30 minutes ahead of time to allow the oil to thin out again. Stir well and serve.
