I love bringing global flavors and techniques into my cooking. Chimichurri is a Latin American sauce that is very common in Argentina. This sauce is very herbaceous and is most commonly paired with steak. However, this is actually a versatile sauce and can be used with fish, chicken, veggies and also pasta.
Be sure to check out our grill halibut recipe that we paired with this sauce.

Ingredient List
1 cup densely packed fresh flat-leaf (commonly referred to as Italian) parsley. Stems removed.
4-5 garlic cloves, diced
2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves (you can substitute 2 teaspoons of dried oregano)
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar (you can use red wine vinegar as well)
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Supply List
Mason jar for storage
Instructions
Step 1: combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until sauce is desired consistency.
Note: This way creates more of a puree texture which is not completely traditional. For the traditional method, put the garlic, parsley and oregano in a food processor and give it a few pulses (you can also just chop the ingredients). Place them in a bowl, add the other ingredients mixing well.
Step 2: Serve and enjoy!
Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Can keep for a week or two.
