CHIMICHURRI SAUCE FROM SCRATCH
You will quickly develop your own
proportions in this recipe. Some people prefer more garlic, some prefer only
parsley, some add fresh tomatoes - experiment to come up with your own
signature chimichurri.
Ingredients:
·
2 cups fresh parsley
and/or cilantro, firmly packed
·
1/4 cup fresh oregano
leaves (optional)
·
3-6 cloves of garlic
·
2 tablespoons chopped
onion
·
1/2 cup olive oil
·
2 tablespoons red wine
vinegar (optional)
·
1 tablespoon lime juice
(optional)
·
Kosher salt and red pepper
flakes to taste
Preparation:
1. Pulse the garlic and onion in the food processor until
finely chopped.
2. Add the parsley and/or cilantro, and oregano if using,
and pulse briefly, until finely chopped.
3. 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
