Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 4 clove(s) garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps

  1. 1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. This forms the aromatic base.

  2. 2. Slowly whisk in 120 milliliters (1/2 cup) of olive oil and 60 milliliters (1/4 cup) of red wine vinegar until the mixture is well combined. This emulsion helps to blend the flavors and ensure a smooth consistency.

  3. 3. Let the chimichurri sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature (around 20-22°C or 68-72°F). Resting allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the overall taste.

Why this works

Chimichurri is a classic sauce that thrives on the balance between fresh herbs, acidity from vinegar, and richness from olive oil. The fresh parsley and cilantro provide a bright, herbaceous flavor that complements grilled meats exceptionally well. The emulsion created by whisking 120 milliliters of olive oil with 60 milliliters of vinegar binds these flavors together, ensuring a cohesive sauce. If the chimichurri seems too thin, you can add more herbs to thicken it up; if it becomes too thick, a splash of water or more olive oil can adjust the consistency. Allowing the chimichurri to rest for at least 10 minutes is crucial; it not only enhances the flavor but also allows the garlic to mellow, avoiding an overpowering raw taste. This technique is often overlooked, but it’s essential to achieving the best flavor profile. The resting period allows the ingredients to interact, deepening the overall taste. By adhering to these precise measurements and time, you ensure a balanced and flavorful chimichurri that elevates any dish.
