Servings: 10 people
Ingredients
- 1 small shallot or ½ cup of red onion, roughly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cup fresh parsley
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- A pinch of red pepper flakes optional
- ¾ cup olive oil
Instructions
- In a food processor, add shallot, garlic, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Pulse or chop button, stopping and scraping down sides occasionally until everything is finely minced.
- Add in parsley, oregano and red pepper flakes. Pour in olive oil while pulsing several times until all is minced.
- Serve it over meat, poultry, seafood or even roasted/grilled vegetables.
Notes
- For the best flavour, use fresh garlic cloves and not garlic powder or pre-minced garlic.
- If you do not have a food processor, you can finely dice everything and combine it in a bowl. You can also use a blender instead.
- If you can, allowing the chimichurri sauce to sit at room temperature for a bit before serving allows the flavours to deepend.
- To store: Store the chimichurri sauce in the fridge in an airtight container. Use as soon as possible for the best flavour.
- To freeze: You can freeze chimichurri in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
