Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
3-4 cloves garlic (, finely chopped or minced)
2 small red chilies (, or 1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon finely chopped chili))
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 level teaspoon coarse salt
pepper (, to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon))

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to release all of the flavours into the oil before using. Ideally, let it sit for more than 2 hours, if time allows.
  • Chimichurri can be prepared earlier than needed, and refrigerated for 24 hours, if needed.
  • Use to baste meats (chicken or steaks) while grilling or barbecuing. We don't use it as a marinade, but choose to baste our meats with chimichurri instead. However, you can use it as a marinade if you wish. Also, add a couple of tablespoons over your steak to serve.
