Roasted Garlic Chimichurri
Description
Roasted Garlic Chimichurri blends the mellow sweetness of roasted garlic with the brightness of Italian flat-leaf parsley, rich olive oil, and tangy apple cider vinegar. The addition of red pepper flakes and cumin provides a subtle, warming spiciness and earthiness. The ingredients are processed together until smooth, creating a thick, verdant sauce with a balanced combination of tartness, herbaceousness, and savory complexity.
After preparation, the sauce benefits from resting at room temperature for at least two hours to allow the flavors to meld and reduce any initial sharpness from raw garlic or vinegar. Once rested, it makes a flavorful accompaniment to grilled steaks, chicken, or roasted potatoes, offering a fresh and zesty contrast to rich or smoky dishes.
This chimichurri’s smooth texture and bold flavor make it a versatile condiment that brightens savory dishes while adding a nuanced herb and spice profile.
Ingredients
- 1 head garlic roasted
- 1 bunch parsley around 1 to 1 ½ cups, packed, Italian flat leaf, fresh
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¾ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon salt fine sea salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor, and puree until smooth.
- For best results, wait at least 2 hours (at room temperature) before use to let the flavors develop.
- Drizzle it over mains or sides, like grilled steak or chicken, or roasted potatoes.
Notes
- Allow the chimichurri to rest at room temperature for at least two hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and smooth out.
- Avoid tasting immediately after making, as the raw garlic and vinegar flavors may seem sharp until the sauce rests.
- Use Italian flat-leaf parsley for its fresh herbal note.
