Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (packed) fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves (or dried oregano)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the parsley to remove any dirt or excess moisture.
Finely chop the parsley, oregano leaves, and garlic, or alternatively, use a food processor to pulse them until finely minced.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped parsley, oregano, and garlic.
Add the red wine vinegar, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and stir well to combine.
Slowly pour in the olive oil while stirring to emulsify the mixture.
Taste the chimichurri and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to taste.
Transfer the chimichurri to an airtight container and let it sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the chimichurri as a sauce for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a condiment. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
