Notes

Ingredients

  • ½ cup chopped parsley - flat-leaf parsley
  • 4 cloves garlic - chopped
  • 1 shallot - chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 small red chili - seeded and diced (or 2 tsp red pepper flakes)
  • 3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • ⅔ cup good-quality extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

This quick and easy chimichurri recipe takes just five minutes and requires no cooking. While a food processor helps chop the parsley and garlic finely, you can also make it by hand.
  1. Add the chopped parsley, garlic, shallot, oregano, red chili (or crushed red pepper), red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to a food processor. Process until finely minced, being careful not to over-blend into a paste.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and gently mix in the extra-virgin olive oil.
  3. Let the chimichurri rest for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Serve at room temperature over grilled meats and vegetables or use as a marinade. Enjoy!
