Ingredients
  

  • 1 small bunch parsley, washed and dried (enough to make 1 cup loosely-packed)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 large lemons (enough to make 2 tablespoons of zest)
  • kosher salt, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Remove the leaves from 1 small bunch of parsley — enough to make 1 cup when very loosely packed.
  • Chop the parsley until it is nearly finely chopped. It should be less than ½ cup.
  • Use the microplane to grate the garlic over the parsley.
  • Use the same microplane (don't bother to wash) to zest the lemon(s).
  • Continue to chop the parsley, mixing in the garlic and lemon as you go, until the parsley is chopped very fine. Season with salt, to taste.
