Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups parsley packed, and leaves only remove stems, flat-leaf, chopped
- 8 cloves garlic fresh
- 2 tablespoons oregano fresh
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (add another teaspoon if you like it hotter)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar add more for tangier taste, or sherry vinegar
- 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil good-quality
Instructions
- With the food processor turned on, add the garlic cloves through the food chute; process until coarsely chopped.
- Add in the parsley, oregano, red pepper, salt, black pepper and vinegar and process until the mixture is finely chopped. Don't over-chop it, you want some chunks! Taste test and add more salt, red pepper and vinegar to taste at this point.
- Remove and place into a small lidded container, then whisk in the olive oil.
- Place the lid on top and let marinate for a few hours if possible to let the flavors blend together.
- Refrigerate 1 to 2 days.

Notes
- sherry vinegar will have a slightly sweeter taste than red wine vinegar, use whichever you prefer
