Classic Chimichurri
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar (do NOT use white vinegar)
- 1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 red chili pepper, minced
- 3/4 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a small bowl and let stand for 15-20 min before using so that all the flavours get released. Don’t use a food processor for this, do it all by hand with a sharp knife as this uncooked sauce should be textured and not a purée. Serve on grilled meats, vegetables, or as a marinade for chicken and pork chops!¡Buen Provecho! Enjoy! ⠀Wines that go well with chimichurri are Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah! Cheers!
