  • 2 tablespoons parsley leaves, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons basil leaves, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Castelvetrano olives, chopped

  2. Finely chop the fresh herbs and olives and add to the bowl.
  3. Grate in the garlic clove and add the oregano and sea salt.
  4. Freshly grate the parmesan cheese and stir well so all the ingredients are combined.
