Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup cilantro fresh, chopped
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Chopping board
  • Knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Storage jar with lid

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients. Having everything ready makes the process smoother and quicker.
  2. Finely chop the cilantro until you have about one cup. A good chop releases the oils and enhances the flavor.
  3. Minced garlic brings a bold punch to the sauce. The finer you mince, the more intense the flavor will be.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine cilantro, garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.
  5. Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings according to your preference.
  6. Using a whisk or fork, whisk everything together until thoroughly combined.
  7. Taste the chimichurri and adjust the heat with more red pepper flakes if needed.
  8. Transfer to a jar with a lid or serve immediately. For best flavor, let sit for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

Let your chimichurri sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
