Ingredients

1/2 cup Chopped parsley
1/2 cup Chopped cilantro
6 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tbsp Salt
1/2 tbsp Dried oregano
1/2 tsp Black pepper
3 tbsp Red wine vinegar
1 cup Olive oil

Instructions

Chop up the cilantro, parsley, garlic and add to a small bowl.
Next, chop up the garlic. Add it to the parsley and cilantro along with the remaining ingredients. Mix it all together with a spoon.
The chimichurri can be served right away. The longer it sits the more flavorful it will get.

Notes

Use olive oil instead of extra virgin olive oil. It has a milder and more neutral flavor.
Chop everything by hand instead of using a food processor. The chimichurri will have a much better texture.
Remove any thick stems from the parsley as they can be bitter.
After mixing everything together, adjust the heat, salt and tanginess to your liking:
- Salt - add more salt
- Tanginess - add more red wine vinegar
- Heat - add more crushed red peppers
