Ingredients

• 1 cup (packed) fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup (packed) fresh cilantro (optional)
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 0.5 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thoroughly wash the parsley and cilantro, if using, and pat them dry. Remove the tough stems and roughly chop the leaves.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them.

Step 3

In a food processor or blender, combine the parsley, cilantro (if using), garlic, red wine vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

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

Step 5

With the food processor or blender running, slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil. Continue blending until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky, not pureed.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or red wine vinegar based on your preference.

Step 7

Transfer the chimichurri into a bowl or jar. Allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Serve as a condiment with grilled steak, chicken, seafood, roasted vegetables, or fresh bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
