Chimichurri is made with a mixture of fresh minced parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, oregano, and olive oil.
Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 shallot, chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 small red chili, seeded and diced (or 2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes)
- 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
- ⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Method
- Add the chopped parsley, garlic, shallot, oregano, red chili (or crushed red pepper), red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to the bowl of a food processor. Process until finely minced (take care not to turn it into a thick paste from over-processing).
- Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and pour the extra-virgin olive oil over the mixture. Gently mix to combine. Allow the Chimichurri to stand for 15 minutes, time permitting.
- Serve over your favorite grilled meats and vegetables or use as a marinade. Can also keep stored in an air-tight container, and refrigerate until ready to use. Best if brought to room temperature before serving.
