CHIMICHURRI

A typical Argentinian accompaniment with steak and lamb… and!!! … the more garlic and pepper, the better! 👌😏

1 cup firmly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, trimmed of thick stems
3 – 4 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves (can sub 2 teaspoons dried oregano)
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
½ teaspoon sea salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Finely chop the parsley, fresh oregano, and garlic (or process in a food processor several pulses).
Place in a small bowl. Stir in the olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Adjust seasonings.
Serve immediately or refrigerate. If chilled, return to room temperature before serving.
Can keep for a week or two.
