Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (packed) Fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp Fresh oregano leaves
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Water (optional)
Instructions
Start by thoroughly washing the fresh parsley and oregano leaves. Pat them dry with a clean towel to remove any excess water.
Finely chop the parsley, oregano, and garlic cloves by hand for a more rustic texture, or pulse them together in a food processor for a smoother texture.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped parsley, oregano, and garlic.
Add the red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil to the bowl. Gently stir to combine the ingredients evenly.
Season the mixture with red chili flakes, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure the flavors are distributed throughout.
Taste the sauce, and if you prefer a thinner consistency, stir in the optional tablespoon of water until the desired texture is achieved.
Transfer the chimichurri sauce to a jar or serving dish. Allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve the chimichurri sauce alongside grilled meats, vegetables, or as a marinade. Store any unused sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
