My parents turned me onto this simple and delicious recipe. Fresh parsley, minced garlic and olive oil create a simple sauce and tastes wonderful when preparing grilled vegetables or other food. You can add vinegar, chilis, a touch of oregano and salt and pepper to spice it up or leave it as is. It tastes amazing to use when cooking, yet also tastes fabulous served on top of food or to dip your bread into.
