Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh parsley
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.75 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing and drying the fresh parsley and cilantro. Remove the thick stems and chop the leaves coarsely to make measuring more accurate.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves.
Step 3
In a food processor, combine the parsley, cilantro, garlic, and fresh oregano. Pulse a few times until the herbs are finely minced.
Step 4
Add the red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the food processor. Pulse again to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Step 5
With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil until the sauce is well blended and has a slightly emulsified texture.
Step 6
Add the lemon juice and pulse a couple more times to integrate it into the sauce.
Step 7
Taste the chimichurri and adjust seasoning if necessary, keeping in mind the flavors will intensify as it sits.
Step 8
Transfer the chimichurri sauce into a jar or airtight container. Allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Step 9
Refrigerate any leftovers. The sauce will keep for up to one week in the refrigerator.
