Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch flat leaf parsley
8 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 lemon wedge (juice of)
1 tablespoon diced red onion
1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Add remaining ingredients and blend.
  • Separate sauce into equal parts.
  • (Use half for basting or marinade).
  • (Use other half for table service).

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give your chimichurri sauce the best flavor. If you can't find fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but you'll need to use about 1/3 of the amount.
  • Chop the herbs finely. Finely chopped herbs will distribute their flavor evenly throughout the sauce.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for chimichurri sauce. It has a rich flavor that will complement the herbs.
  • Add some acidity. Lemon juice or vinegar will add a bit of acidity to the sauce, which will help to balance out the flavors.
  • Season to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Conclusion:

Chimichurri sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for grilled meats, fish, vegetables, and even pasta. With its fresh, herbaceous flavor, chimichurri sauce is sure to become a new favorite in your kitchen.
