Originating in Uruguay and Argentina, Chimichurri is made with a mixture of fresh minced parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, oregano, and olive oil. Naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley (flat-leaf parsley)
  • 4 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1 shallot (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 small red chili (seeded and diced (or 2 tsp red pepper flakes))
  • 3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 2/3 cup good-quality extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the chopped parsley, garlic, shallot, oregano, red chili (or crushed red pepper), red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to the bowl of a food processor. Process until finely minced (take care not to turn it into a thick paste from over-processing).

  2. 2

    Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and pour the extra-virgin olive oil over the mixture. Gently mix to combine. Allow the Chimichurri to stand for 15 minutes, time permitting.

  3. 3

    Serve over your favorite grilled meats and vegetables or use as a marinade! Enjoy!
