• 4 large garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1.5 cups extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by thoroughly washing and drying the flat-leaf parsley. Make sure it is completely dry to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.

Step 2

Finely chop the parsley and fresh oregano, and set them aside.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves until they are very fine.

Step 4

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped parsley, chopped oregano, and minced garlic.

Step 5

Add the red wine vinegar to the mixture.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the extra-virgin olive oil while stirring continuously, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Add the red chili flakes, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the mixture and stir until well combined.

Step 8

Taste the chimichurri sauce and adjust seasoning as necessary. You may add more salt, pepper, or red wine vinegar depending on your taste preference.

Step 9

Let the chimichurri sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before serving to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 10

Serve the chimichurri sauce over grilled meats, vegetables, or use it as a marinade before grilling. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir well before reusing.
