- 1 teaspoon whole pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pimento
- 1 cup of parsley leaf and stalk
- 1/2 cup of oil

If you are using whole spices roast them gently in the pan for a minute until they are fragrant. Then grind them using a mortar and pestle or spice blender.
Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse into a smooth spread.
