Time 15m

Yield 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups fresh parsley or 2 cups cilantro, firmly packed
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves (optional)
3 -6 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons chopped onions
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice
salt and red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Pulse the garlic and onion in the food processor until finely chopped.
  • Add the parsley and/or cilantro, and oregano if using, and pulse briefly, until finely chopped.
  • Transfer the mixture to a separate bowl. Add the olive oil, lime juice, and vinegar, and stir. (Adding the liquids outside of the blender gives the chimichurri the correct texture. You don't want the herbs to be completely puréed, just finely chopped).
  • Season with salt and red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
