are a basic ingredient in fricot, soups and most dishes which use meat and

fish. Traditionally made with chives, shallots and onion shoots, salted

herbs may also contain finely chopped onions. Layer the ingredients in a stoneware or glass pot. Let the mixture stand for several days until a brine is formed. Use as a seasoning in a variety of fish and meat dishes. SOURCE:_A Taste of Acadie_ by Marie Cormier-Boudreau
