Yummy Chimichurri
Author: Adapted from Cook's Illustrated
Recipe type: Sauce
Cuisine: Sauce
Serves: 6
- 2 tsp. dried oregano
- ¼ c. hot water
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1½ c. fresh parsley
- ½ c. fresh cilantro
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 4-6 garlic cloves, peeled & chopped (this depends on how garlicky you like it. I used 6)
- 1 Tb. lemon juice
- ¼ c. red wine vinegar
- ½ tsp. red pepper flakes
- ½ c. olive oil
- In a small bowl, combine water with oregano and salt and allow to sit for about 5 minutes (this brightens the flavor of the oregano).
- In a food processor, toss in parsley, cilantro, scallions, garlic and red pepper flakes and pulse a few times until roughly chopped.
- Pour in oregano/water mixture, along with vinegar and lemon juice and pulse a few times.
- Pour mixture into a medium bowl.
- Gently whisk in olive oil until you get an emulsion (i.e., thicker consistency).
- Cover and allow to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour, then spoon over grilled meat.
If you refrigerate the mixture, allow it to come to room temperature before serving.
