Ingredients
1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Finely chop the parsley and garlic by hand for a rustic texture.
2. In a medium bowl, combine chopped parsley, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
3. Pour in the red wine vinegar and olive oil.
4. Stir everything together thoroughly until the herbs are well coated and the flavors begin to blend.
5. Let the sauce sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
Chimichurri tastes even better after a few hours of resting.
Use fresh parsley for the best color and flavor—curly or flat-leaf works.
You can freeze extra chimichurri in ice cube trays for later use.
