Ingredients
8 servings
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup parsley (finely chopped)
- 3 -4 cloves garlic (finely chopped or minced)
- 2 red chilies (small, or 1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon finely chopped chili))
- 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt (level)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon))
Steps
-
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to release all of the flavours into the oil before using. Ideally, let it sit for more than 2 hours, if time allows.
-
Chimichurri can be prepared earlier than needed, and refrigerated for 24 hours, if needed.
-
Use to baste meats (chicken or steaks) while grilling or barbecuing. We don't use it as a marinade, but choose to baste our meats with chimichurri instead. However, you can use it as a marinade if you wish. Also, add a couple of tablespoons over your steak to serve.
