Ingredients

• 1 cup (packed) Fresh parsley
• 1 cup (packed) Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano leaves
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for consistency)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and thoroughly dry the parsley, cilantro, and oregano to remove any dirt or debris.

Step 2

Finely chop the parsley, cilantro, and oregano leaves, or pulse them briefly in a food processor for a slightly rustic texture.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press for a finer texture.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and red chili flakes.

Step 5

Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while stirring to ensure the mixture emulsifies into a cohesive sauce.

Step 6

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 7

If the sauce feels too thick, stir in 1 tablespoon of water at a time until you achieve your desired consistency.

Step 8

Transfer the chimichurri sauce to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve the chimichurri sauce at room temperature alongside grilled meats, vegetables, or use it as a marinade or topping for your favorite dishes.
