Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Half fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a bare simmer.

2. 2

   Mash the garlic with the salt on a board until it becomes a paste.

3. 3

   In a heatproof bowl, stir the garlic paste into the lemon juice until the salt dissolves.

4. 4

   Set the bowl over the pan, without letting it touch the water.

5. 5

   Whisk in the oil in a thin stream until the dressing turns pale and slightly thick, 2-3 min.

6. 6

   Lift the bowl off the heat. Stir in the oregano, parsley and pepper.

7. 7

   Leave 10 min so the herbs perfume the oil. Whisk again just before using.

8. 8

   Spoon over grilled meat, fish or vegetables.
