Calories
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup finely chopped cilantro (about 1/2 a bunch)
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh oregano
- 1/2 cup finely chopped or sliced green onions
- 4 garlic cloves (minced or finely grated)
- 1 red hot chili pepper (seeded, deveined and finely chopped. Optional if you don't like spicy food. If do, you can adjust the quantity to taste or substitute with 1/2 a teaspoon of red pepper flakes)
- 3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil (if you don't mind the flavor, you can also use olive oil, which is more traditional)
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp kosher salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Store the chimichurri in a fridge for up to 3 days. Best when used as fresh as possible, preferably with 24 hours of making.
