Ingredients

• 1 cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano leaves, chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Hot water (optional, for adjusting consistency)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, and oregano. Mix well to evenly distribute the herbs.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the herb mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Pour in the red wine vinegar and fresh lemon juice. Gently mix to allow the acidity to penetrate the herbs.

Step 4

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while stirring continuously to create a cohesive marinade mixture.

Step 5

Season the marinade with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 6

If the marinade appears too thick, stir in hot water, one tablespoon at a time, until your desired consistency is achieved.

Step 7

Use immediately as a marinade for your choice of protein or vegetables. Allow the food to marinate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) before grilling.

Step 8

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
