Description
Chimichurri sauce is a fresh, green sauce originating in Argentina and Uruguay and typically used on grilled meats. This is my interpretation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 cloves fresh garlic
- 1 packed cup parsley or cilantro (or a combo of both)
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
- 1/2 cup olive oil (my fav organic brand)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 3/4 tsp salt
- black pepper, to taste
- red pepper flakes (like this)
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse garlic until finely chopped. Add parsley (cilantro) and process until finely chopped.
- Scrape garlic and herbs into a medium bowl. Add rest of chimichurri sauce ingredients and whisk until well incorporated.
- Store in glass jar in fridge up to 3 days.
Notes
Chimichurri sauce is typically made with red wine vinegar, but I prefer the taste of lemon or lime juice. Feel free to use what you have on hand.
