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
- Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients except the olive oil into a blender. Pulse the mixture until the ingredients are well combined but still retain some chunkiness for texture.
- Incorporate Olive Oil: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and stir in the olive oil thoroughly. The sauce should have a slightly chunky consistency rather than being perfectly smooth.
- Serve: Use this flavorful red chimichurri as a condiment with grilled or roasted meat, chicken, seafood, or vegetables to add a fresh, smoky, and tangy punch.
Notes
- This chimichurri can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week in an airtight container.
- Adjust the crushed red pepper flakes quantity to control the heat level according to your preference.
- For a more intense smoky flavor, use smoked paprika and roasted red peppers.
- Allow the chimichurri to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Serve at room temperature for best flavor.
