Ingredients
- 15 g mint ½ oz/ ¾ cup chopped leaves, Note 1, fresh
- 15 g parsley ½ oz/ ¾ cup chopped leaves, Note 1, fresh
- 3 garlic large cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt fine, more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 6 tablespoons olive oil Note 2
- ½ teaspoon honey Note 3, or sugar
Instructions
- Prepare herbs: Wash and dry them with paper towels. Pick the leaves from the stems. Chop the leaves finely and set them aside.
- Combine: Grate the garlic cloves into a medium bowl. Add vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Whisk in the olive oil until the mixture is slightly emulsified.
- Adjust the taste with sugar or honey and more salt if necessary.
- Stir in the chopped herbs.
- Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to mingle.
Notes
- Weigh the leaves after removing them from the stems.
- Choose good-quality fruity olive oil. First, taste it to make sure it’s not too bitter. You will need a generous amount; if it’s too bitter/strong, it might ruin the recipe. If you feel the olive oil has too strong a flavor, combine it with neutral-tasting oil like canola.
- Honey or sugar is there to balance the tanginess of the sauce. Use to taste but remember that chimichurri is supposed to be tangy.
- Leftovers will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- If you refrigerate the sauce, allow it to come to room temperature (30-60 minutes) and give it a good stir before serving.
