👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Prepare the herbs and aromatics: Finely chop the fresh parsley (including the tender stems for more flavor) and the peeled garlic cloves. Aim for a texture that is finely minced but not a paste. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor for this.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped parsley, chopped garlic, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir to distribute them evenly.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Add liquids and seasoning: Pour in the red wine vinegar and the extra virgin olive oil. Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined. The mixture should be a vibrant green color.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 4
Rest and develop flavor: For the best flavor, let the chimichurri rest at room temperature for at least 15-30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and deepen. It can also be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a week; bring to room temperature before serving.
⏱️ Optional: 15-30 minutes
