Ingredients

Scale

Red Chimichurri Ingredients

  • 1 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
  • 1/2 cup packed fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 5 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup good quality olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Gather all the ingredients except the olive oil, ensuring the roasted red peppers are chopped and fresh parsley is packed.
  2. Blend the base: Add the roasted red peppers, fresh parsley, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic cloves, lemon juice, black pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes into a blender. Pulse the mixture until the ingredients are well combined but still slightly chunky to maintain texture.
  3. Incorporate olive oil: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and gently stir in the olive oil. The sauce should have a slightly chunky consistency rather than completely smooth, which enhances its rustic appeal.
  4. Serve: Use the red chimichurri immediately with meat, chicken, seafood, or vegetable dishes, or refrigerate for up to 3 days to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
  • Adjust the crushed red pepper flakes to control the heat level to your preference.
  • For a smoother texture, blend longer, but traditional chimichurri benefits from some chunkiness.
  • Use fresh herbs and good quality olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Chimichurri is excellent as a marinade or a fresh condiment served alongside grilled dishes.
