How To Make Chimichurri Sauce

Equipment

• Food processor or blender

Ingredients

• 4 cloves Garlic chopped
• 1 bunch Parsley
• 1/3 c Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Dried Oregano
• 1 tsp Kosher Salt
• 1 tsp Black Pepper
• 3 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar

Instructions

• Combine all ingredients in a food processor (or a blender) until well-combined. Best if made in advance; refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips

To make this recipe, you should use both fresh garlic and fresh parsley. The recipe calls for 1 bunch of parsley, which you can easily find in the fresh herb section of your local grocery. I find that both flat-leaf and curly parsley work well for this recipe. Flat-leaf parsley has a stronger flavor, while curly parsley is more muted; depending on the extent to which you love parsley, choose accordingly. Lastly, I highly recommend investing in a food processor, as they have a multitude of uses in the kitchen. That said, if you don’t have one, a blender absolutely does the job for this recipe!
