How to Make It
1️⃣ PREPARE THE HERBS & GARLIC:

Finely chop the parsley and cilantro, removing any large stems.

Mince the garlic until very fine, almost paste-like.
-
Add everything to a medium-sized bowl.
2️⃣ ADD THE FLAVOR BOOSTERS:

-
These ingredients balance acidity, spice, and freshness for the perfect chimichurri!
3️⃣ INCORPORATE THE OLIVE OIL:
-
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the sauce.
-
Keep whisking until the oil is fully incorporated and the sauce has a well-blended consistency.
4️⃣ LET IT SIT & SERVE:
-
Cover and let the chimichurri sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before serving.
-
Drizzle it over grilled steak, chicken, seafood, or roasted vegetables for an explosion of fresh flavor!
Pro Tip:
For even more depth, make your chimichurri a few hours ahead to let the flavors meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
