Chimichurri Sauce

Chimichurri Sauce is a vibrant, herb-infused Argentine condiment that perfectly complements grilled meats and vegetables with its fresh and tangy flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped (or 2 tsp dried oregano)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the parsley, cilantro, garlic, and oregano.
  2. Add the red wine vinegar and red pepper flakes, stirring to combine.
  3. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Let the sauce sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve at room temperature with grilled meats, seafood, or vegetables.

Notes

For best flavor, prepare chimichurri a few hours ahead and refrigerate; bring to room temperature before serving.
