Spicy Chimichurri Sauce

Author Delish D'Lites

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of parsley
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 shallot or 1/4 of a red onion
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Put all your ingredients into a food processor.
  2. Pulse until the mixture reaches the consistency you prefer. I like mine on the chunky side, so you can see little bits of all the different ingredients.
  3. At this stage, you can also decide on how loose you want the sauce to be. Feel free to add more olive oil and/or vinegar, let your taste buds guide you to your preference, as chimichurri is a very personalize-able thing.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, to allow the flavors to meld

Recipe Notes

If you don't have a food processor, you can try using a blender (first chop the ingredients up), or very finely chopping all the fresh ingredients and using a mortar and pestle to create a paste.

Feel free to use this sauce as a marinade too, it works great!
