  "Salted herbs are a central element in traditional Acadian cuisine; they
  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.
