Ingredients
- 1 cup (packed) Fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp Fresh oregano leaves
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Water (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Start by thoroughly washing the fresh parsley and oregano leaves. Pat them dry with a clean towel to remove any excess water.
Step 2
Finely chop the parsley, oregano, and garlic cloves by hand for a more rustic texture, or pulse them together in a food processor for a smoother texture.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped parsley, oregano, and garlic.
Step 4
Add the red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil to the bowl. Gently stir to combine the ingredients evenly.
Step 5
Season the mixture with red chili flakes, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure the flavors are distributed throughout.
Step 6
Taste the sauce, and if you prefer a thinner consistency, stir in the optional tablespoon of water until the desired texture is achieved.
Step 7
Transfer the chimichurri sauce to a jar or serving dish. Allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 8
Serve the chimichurri sauce alongside grilled meats, vegetables, or as a marinade. Store any unused sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
