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
