Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup, packed Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup, packed Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano leaves
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the parsley, cilantro, and oregano leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
Roughly chop the parsley, cilantro, and oregano leaves and place them into a food processor or blender.
Peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves, then add them to the food processor along with the red chili flakes, lime zest, fresh lime juice, and red wine vinegar.
Pulse the mixture a few times to combine the ingredients and create a coarse texture.
Gradually drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuing to pulse the food processor. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Once the mixture reaches your desired consistency (chunky or smooth, depending on preference), transfer it to a bowl.
Stir in the salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting seasoning if needed.
Let the chimichurri rest for at least 5 minutes at room temperature before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately as a topping for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or even as a dipping sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
