Ingredients
- 3-5 cloves garlic
- 2 Tablespoons fresno chili pepper or 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 cup fresh parsley
- 2 Tablespoon oregano
- 1 ½ Tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt more or less to taste
- ⅓ cup neutral oil
Instructions
- In the bowl of a mini food processor, add garlic and pepper. Pulse until roughly chopped.
- Then, add parsley, oregano, red wine vinegar, lime juice, and salt (also add red pepper flakes, if using instead of a whole pepper). Pulse until roughly chopped and combined; you're looking for a uniform mixture but not a pureed one.
- Transfer the herb mixture to a bowl and cover with oil. Let seep for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before using. Serve over grilled meats, veggies, or as a marinade (or however else you desire!). Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Makes a scant 3/4 cup of sauce.
