Equipment

  • Blender
  • Box Grater

Ingredients

  • 1 cup densely packed parsley stems removed (about 1 bunch)
  • 1 small red chili pepper seeds removed for less spice
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp coarse kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Finely chop the parsley until very small. Mince your red chili pepper, making sure to wear gloves to protect your fingers.
  • Add all of the ingredients together in a bowl and mix to combine. Allow this to rest for at least 2 hours if able to allow the flavors to blend together.

Notes

Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For personal or educational use only.
  • Parsley: Make sure to use fresh herbs, dried herbs will not work. Some Chimichurri Recipes also use cilantro, but my recipe does not.
  • Red Chili Pepper: Try to find a small red chili pepper, like a Carolina Cayenne Chili Pepper. You can add more or less chili depending on your spice preference. Remove the seeds to reduce the spiciness level. You can also try adding dried chili flakes.
  • Garlic: This chimichurri turns out quite garlicky. You can reduce the garlic if you’d prefer a less garlicky version. 
  • Dried Oregano: You can also use fresh oregano if desired
  • Red Wine Vinegar: You can use lemon as a substitute 
  • Kosher Salt: Kosher salt is recommended. If you are using table salt, use less. 
  • Do not use a food processor on this recipe. Take the time to chop up your herbs and flavorings by hand. It enhances the texture of the chimichurri so much!
  • If you want chimichurri but also have roasted red peppers on hand, try out this Red Chimichurri that we love! 
  • The flavors of this recipe will get more potent overnight (notably the garlic)!
