Cuisine: Argentinian

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
  • 4 cloves garlic finely chopped or minced
  • 1-2 teaspoons dried red pepper flakes
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 level teaspoon coarse salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Method
 

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to release all of the flavors into the oil before using. Ideally, let it sit for more than 2 hours, if time allows.
  2. Chimichurri can be prepared earlier than needed, and refrigerated for 24 hours, if needed.
  3. Use to baste meats (chicken or steaks) while grilling or barbecuing. You can use it as a marinade or to baste our meats with chimichurri. Also, add a couple of tablespoons over your steak to serve.
