Description

This zesty Homemade Chimichurri Sauce bursts with fresh herbs, garlic, and vinegar, balanced by a smooth olive oil base. Perfect for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and dipping sauces—it’s the vibrant condiment every kitchen should have.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

½ cup extra virgin olive oil

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Finely chop the parsley and garlic using a sharp knife for maximum flavor release.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine parsley, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

3. Stir in the red wine vinegar, mixing to distribute evenly.

4. Slowly pour in the olive oil while stirring continuously to help it blend.

5. Let the sauce rest for 15–20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

6. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Notes

For best results, chop the herbs by hand—blending can make it too smooth.

The flavor improves after sitting, so consider making it a day ahead.

Adjust the red pepper flakes to taste for a milder or spicier version.
