Quick and Easy Chimichurri

• •1 cup Fresh flat-leaf parsley (tightly packed, finely chopped)
• •2 tbsp Fresh oregano (finely chopped)
• •3 piece Garlic cloves (minced)
• •3 tbsp Red wine vinegar
• •1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• •1 tsp Red pepper flakes (or more, to taste)
• •1 tsp Salt (or to taste)
• •1 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground, or to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash and thoroughly dry the fresh parsley and oregano. Finely chop both herbs and place them in a medium-sized bowl.

2. 2

   Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the chopped herbs.

3. 3

   Add the red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir everything together until well combined.

4. 4

   Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If you prefer it tangier, add more vinegar. If you like it spicier, add more red pepper flakes. For best flavor, let the chimichurri sit for at least 10-15 minutes at room temperature before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Chef's Tips

• 💡For the most authentic flavor, use fresh herbs. Dried herbs will change the texture and taste significantly.
• 💡While delicious immediately, chimichurri's flavors deepen and improve after sitting for a bit, ideally for an hour or two in the refrigerator before serving.
• 💡This sauce is incredibly versatile! Drizzle it over grilled steak, chicken, fish, roasted vegetables, or even use it as a sandwich spread.
