chimichurri sauce

Chimichurri: the sauce that's so addictively fantastic, you will quite literally want to drink it. You've got parsley and cilantro – the dynamic duo of herbs – oregano brining a hint of earthy wisdom to the party, and a little drama from the jalapeño and red chili flakes. The red wine vinegar and lemon juice bring just the right hint of tanginess while the olive oil smooths everything out. Slather it on grilled meat, drizzle it on veggies, I mean you can even dip your fries in it – go crazy, I'm not gonna tell you what to do.

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Let this sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse together.
Serve immediately on fish, steak, veg, tacos – basically anything and everything – or store in airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Pro Tip: This makes a pretty big batch so I like to freeze leftovers in ice cube trays and pop out individual cubes when I need them. Perfect for throwing on veggies or any protein on the grill.
