Calories: 134kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup cilantro
- 1 cup Italian parsley
- ¼ cup fresh mint
- 2 tablespoon dried oregano
- 3 medium serrano peppers
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅓ cup red wine vinegar
- ½ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Add herbs, serranos, and garlic to a food processor. Pulse ingredients until chunky.
- Empty the contents of the food processor into a bowl. Mix in red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and vinegar.
- Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the bowl and stir until the sauce comes together. Pour the sauce into a pint sized jar and store in the fridge until needed.
Notes
- Be sure to bring the sauce to room temperature before serving as the oil will harden once refrigerated.
- Similar to pesto, this condiment can be stirred into pasta for a flavor burst.
- Use chimichurri sauce instead of pizza sauce to make homemade chicken pizza. It's to die for!
- Store leftover cilantro chimichurri sauce in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
