✨Classic Chimichurri✨ Ingredients * 1 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped * 3–4 cloves garlic, minced * 2 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped (or 2 tsp dried oregano) * 1 shallot * ½ tsp red pepper flakes (more if you like heat) * 2 tbsp red wine vinegar * ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil * ½ tsp kosher salt (or to taste) * ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper Instructions 1. Finely chop the parsley, oregano, shallot and garlic by hand for the best texture. 2. In a bowl, combine the parsley, garlic, oregano, shallot, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. 3. Stir in the red wine vinegar. 4. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until everything is well combined. 5. Let the chimichurri sit for 15–30 minutes before serving so the flavors meld. Tips * For a brighter flavor, add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. * If it’s too sharp, add a little more olive oil. * If it’s too thick, thin it with another tablespoon of olive oil. * Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before serving and stir well. Great Pairings * Grilled steak (traditional) * Grilled chicken or pork * Shrimp or fish * Roasted potatoes * Grilled vegetables * Crusty bread as a dip This recipe makes about ¾ cup, enough for 4–6 servings. #hosting #chimichurri #steakdinner #EasyRecipe #cookwithme
