Classic Argentine Chimichurri - Argentina traditional dish

🧂 食材

1 cup, packed Fresh parsley
1 tbsp Dried oregano
4 cloves Garlic
60 ml Red wine vinegar(about 1/4 cup)
120 ml Extra virgin olive oil(about 1/2 cup)
1 tsp Red pepper flakes(adjust to your spice preference)
1/2 tsp Salt(or to taste)
1/4 tsp Black pepper(freshly ground, or to taste)

👨‍🍳 步驟

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

💡 專業提示

✓Make ahead for better flavor: Chimichurri's flavor intensifies as it sits, making it ideal for preparing in advance.
✓Essential with grilled meat: This sauce is a classic accompaniment to grilled beef (asado), chicken, pork, and even fish.
✓Two main types: While this is the classic green chimichurri, a 'chimichurri rojo' incorporates ingredients like roasted red peppers or tomatoes for a different flavor profile.
✓Adjust consistency: If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a little more olive oil or vinegar. For a thicker sauce, use slightly less liquid.
