Chimichurri Sauce

Chimichurri Sauce
Prep 10 min Serves 6 Source

Ingredients

  • ½ cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley leaves
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano leaves or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped red chili pepper (from one small chili pepper) or ½ teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
  • 3 to 4 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps

  1. 1

    Chop the dry ingredients. Finely chop the parsley, oregano, chili pepper, and garlic. Alternatively, you can pulse the ingredients in a food processor (but see my note above on why I think hand chopping is best!). Then place the chopped ingredients in a small bowl.

  2. 2

    Stir everything together. Add the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir together and serve immediately or store in the fridge.
