Chimichurri Sauce

A light and refreshing South American marinade for freshly grilled meat and veggies. Sure to impress any crowd!

20 – Servings

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh parsley
  • 12 garlic cloves
  • 0.5-1 cup of fresh oregano
  • 1 &1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup of red wine vinegar (garlic infused red wine vinegar is also a great substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon of kosher salt (Himalayan rock salt or other large grain salts can also be used)

Optional: for a more powerful flavour you can choose to add more garlic or substitute the vinegar with garlic infused red wine vinegar, you can also add a teaspoon of lime juice or lemon zest for a more tart but refreshing flavour.

Directions

  1. If you have a food processor you may add all fresh herbs(parsley/oregano) and garlic and process until finely chopped/minced, if by hand finely chop oregano/parsley and crush the garlic then mince. Transfer into large bowl.
  2. Begin to add wet ingredients into the fresh herbs, slowly add the olive oil and red wine vinegar and stir until your preferred consistency.
  3. If marinating proteins, separate half of your Chimichurri into a separate bowl and use to marinate. A rule of thumb is to marinate for a minimum of three hours, however the longer the better. With the second bowl of Chimichurri lightly salt and add pepper flakes to your preference.
  4. The remaining bowl is now ready to use as a topping on any grilled meals such as; steak, lobster, chicken, even veggies like zucchinis and potatoes.
