EQUIPMENT:
- Mixing bowl 1
- Food processor
- Jar with resealable lid (storage)
INGREDIENTS:
- Half a cup oil of olives
- 1 chili pepper
- Italian parsley (fresh), 30 g
- Two heads of garlic
- To taste powdered peppercorn
- 1/4th cup of vinegar (apple cider vinegar)
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tbsp of oregano.
INGREDIENT NOTES:
GARLIC:
We are including uncooked garlic here that has a strong taste. So, it is better to not exceed two garlic cloves. They give the classic addition to the taste of our sauce.
CHILI PEPPER:
We use it to add a spicy touch to the sauce as its nature is spicy. Use more chili peppers if you want more heat. If you can’t tolerate the heat of the spice then reduce it to only half of the chili pepper. It is up to your taste.
OREGANO:
Using oregano takes this sauce to the next level. If you have fresh oregano leaves available then you will have a lot more taste.
OIL:
This recipe doesn’t recommend you to use any other oil. The classical taste of this sauce is due to the oil of olives (extra-virgin). So, we should stick to this.
PARSLEY:
Fresh parsley leaves are the signature ingredient of the original chimichurri sauce. Different recipes have the difference of one or two items but parsley is common in all of them.
VINEGAR:
Here we have used apple cider vinegar. The main purpose is to add sourness that lowers the spiciness of the sauce. For this purpose, you may add wine vinegar (red/white), or juice of lemon. All of them fulfill the purpose of the addition of wine vinegar.
