• 1 cup, tightly packed Flat-leaf parsley
• 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano leaves
• 4 units Garlic cloves

• 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 0.5 cup Olive oil

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Wash and dry the flat-leaf parsley and fresh oregano thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.

2. Finely chop the parsley and oregano leaves. Alternatively, use a food processor for a quicker and more uniform consistency, but do not puree the herbs completely. The sauce should have texture.

3. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

4. Combine the chopped parsley, oregano, garlic, and red chili flakes in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

5. Add the red wine vinegar, olive oil, and water to the herb mixture. Stir well to combine.

6. Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.

7. Let the chimichurri sauce sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

8. Transfer the chimichurri sauce to a serving dish or jar. Serve it immediately with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
