Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • medium bowl
  • teaspoons
  • liquid measuring cups
  • measuring cups
  • wood cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup chopped parsley
  • 3-4 large garlic cloves
  • ¾ tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • Gather all of the ingredients. Use a sharp knife and mince the parsley, onion, and garlic cloves.
  • Combine parsley, garlic, black pepper, salt, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Pour olive oil and red wine vinegar over the top and give it a good stir to combine all of the ingredients. 
  • Cover the dish and rest for at least 20 minutes, but ideally up to 2 hours, at room temperature before using it. This allows the garlic and herbs to properly impart their flavor in the oil so your chimichurri sauce is extra flavorful.
