Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- ⅔ cup fresh cilantro finely chopped
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Chop the parsley and cilantro leaves and add them to a mixing bowl.
- Add in the rest of the ingredients, except the olive oil.
- Stream in the olive oil while whisking and continue mixing until well combined.
- While I realize that authentic chimichurri sauce doesn’t use a food processor, I do like to chop everything first, then give it a brief pulse, just to blend all the ingredients a little better. This step is completely optional. You can just use a whisk if you prefer the classic version, as I did in my Chimichurri Steak recipe.
- Serve over any steak, chicken or fish that you like.
- Store leftovers in an airtight jar for a few days in the fridge.
