Easy Homemade Chimichurri Sauce

Preparation:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh Italian parsley, loosely packed
• 5 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
• 2 tablespoons shallots, roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1/2 lemon, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
• 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped (dried works too, but fresh is more fragrant)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
• 1/2-3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Method:

1. Combine ingredients: In a food processor, add the parsley, garlic, shallots, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, salt, pepper, and red chili pepper flakes.
2. Pulse: Pulse the ingredients until finely chopped and well combined.
3. Add oil: With the food processor running, slowly stream in the extra virgin olive oil until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
4. Taste and adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Let it sit: Transfer the chimichurri sauce to a jar or airtight container. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Store: Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Enjoy! This versatile sauce is a great accompaniment to grilled meats, fish, or vegetables.
