Ingredients

• 1 cup (packed) fresh parsley
• 1 cup (packed) fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the parsley and cilantro. Remove any large stems.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them, or use a garlic press for convenience.

Step 3

In a food processor or blender, combine the parsley, cilantro, oregano leaves, garlic, and red chili flakes.

Step 4

Pulse the mixture a few times to coarsely chop the herbs and garlic.

Step 5

Add the red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the food processor.

Step 6

Blend the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a more traditional coarse chimichurri, pulse instead of blending continuously.

Step 7

If the mixture is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to loosen it slightly, and pulse again.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.

Step 9

Transfer the chimichurri to a bowl or an airtight container. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a condiment for grilled meats, fish, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
