Instructions

1. Peel the spring onions and wash them very well under running water. Place water, vinegar and a pinch of salt in a pot. Just before the water reaches a full boil, add the spring onions.

2. Let them cook on low heat for about 10 minutes. Drain them and let them dry well on a clean tea towel (this will take at least 6 hours).

3. Place the spring onions in the previously sterilized jars and add a pinch of oregano.

4. Fill the jars with extra virgin olive oil until they are completely covered.

5. Using a fork, gently crush the spring onions in the jars to remove any air bubbles.

6. Close the lids carefully, store in a cool place out of sunlight, and consume after at least one week.
