Chimichurri is a condiment or marinade similar to pesto, but it’s parsley and vinegar based. It’s a typical dish that you’ll find in South American and Central American countries such as Argentina and Mexico. It pairs perfectly with steak, chicken, and fish.
Finely chop parsley, cilantro, oregano, shallot, (or red onion), and garlic, and chile.
Add to a mixing bowl along with all remaining ingredients.
Stir to blend.
Refrigerate until flavors have blended, about 2 hours.
Food Processor Method
Combine parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar, shallot (or red onion), garlic, salt, oregano, red pepper flakes, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor; pulse a few times.
Pour olive oil in slowly, while pulsing a few more times, until Chimichurri is chopped, but not mushy.
Refrigerate until flavors have blended, about 2 hours.
