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. Combine ingredients: Add all the ingredients except the olive oil into a blender. Pulse the mixture until it is well combined but still has a bit of texture, as it’s better to have some chunks for a more rustic chimichurri.
  2. Incorporate olive oil: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and gently stir in the olive oil to create a luscious sauce with balanced texture.
  3. Serve: Use the red chimichurri as a flavorful sauce to accompany grilled or roasted meat, chicken, seafood, or vegetables.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use good quality roasted red peppers and fresh parsley.
  • Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to control the spiciness.
  • Chimichurri can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to allow flavors to meld.
  • If preferred, use a food processor instead of a blender.
  • This sauce is a versatile condiment and also works well as a marinade.
