Parsley-Onion Condiment Recipe
Parsley-Onion Condiment Recipe-July 2024
Jul 24, 2025 6:51 PM

  Here’s a “Why didn’t I think of that?” concoction that’s added to many plates—and sometimes simply set on the table as a condiment—throughout the Middle East. Fresh and delicious, it’s often made with mint instead of parsley or shallot in place of onion. Serve with any grilled meat, but especially Kofte (page 355).

  

Ingredients

makes about 1 cup

  1 large white onion, finely chopped

  Salt to taste

  1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

  

Step 1

Sprinkle the chopped onion liberally with salt and toss in a strainer. Put the strainer over a bowl or the sink and let sit for at least 30 minutes, preferably a bit longer.

  

Step 2

Rinse the onion under cold running water and combine with the parsley. Taste and add salt if necessary. Serve immediately or within several hours; do not refrigerate.
