Chimichurri

Chimichurri

Argentina's answer to everything grilled. Bright, herby, and sharp with vinegar and garlic.

Time: 10 minutes  ·  Yield: About 240 ml (1 cup)

Ingredients

  • 30 g (1 packed cup) fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 15 g (½ packed cup) fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped (or 1 Tbsp dried)
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely minced
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 120 ml (½ cup) extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Method

  1. Combine the parsley, oregano, garlic, shallot, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
  2. Stir in the red wine vinegar, then the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Let it sit at least 15 minutes before serving — the flavors need time to meld.
  4. *Storage:** Refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Bring to room temperature before serving (the oil will solidify when cold).
