“This zingy, tabbouleh-like salad is a punchy, textural vitamin hit made all the more exciting with the pop of native finger lime,” says Sean Moran.

Ingredients

200 ml canola or sunflower oil

2 cups (firmly packed) curly-leaf parsley, well-dried

2 cups (firmly packed) flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped

6 golden shallots, finely chopped

4 large finger limes, pearls removed

1 celery stalk, thinly sliced

2 tbsp baby capers, rinsed

70 gm green olives, pitted and finely chopped

100 ml extra-virgin olive oil

Juice of ½ lemon

Method

1.Heat canola oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add curly parsley and fry, in batches, until leaves have darkened (2-3 seconds; be careful, hot oil will spit), then drain on paper towel and season with salt.

2.Combine chopped parsley, shallots, finger lime, celery, capers and olives in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season to taste and toss to combine. Sprinkle with fried parsley and freshly ground pepper to serve.
