Cilantro Chimichurri Sauce

 

In this Cilantro Chimichurri Sauce, fresh cilantro, parsley and oregano makes for a fun, fresh twist on a classic sauce. Green onion, fresh garlic and oregano make for a flavorful grilling sauce. This sauce is beautiful, glossy and delicious with anything grilled - steak, chicken, seafood or vegetables - you name it!​

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup parsley leaves
  • 2 tablespoons (about 4 small stems) fresh oregano leaves
  • 4 green onions (light and dark green parts), sliced
  • 2 to 4 cloves peeled fresh garlic (depending on sized)
  • a few pinches kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Preparation:

  1. A mini food processor is great for chopping up all the garlic and herbs. Simply add 3/4 cup of cilantro leaves and 1/4 cup parsley leaves (that have been washed and patted or spun dry) with 2 tablespoons fresh oregano (about 4 short stems), 2 to 4 cloves of garlic, depending on their sized, into your food processor. Secure the lid and pulse until coarsely chopped. Then add in the sliced onion and pulse until finely chopped.
  2. Alternatively, this can be finely chopped by hand.
  3. Add the chopped mixture to a bowl, then measure and add in the salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, olive oil and vinegar. Stir to combine.
  4. Taste and adjust salt, if needed.
  5. Store in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid in the refrigerator until ready to use.
