Chimichurri Sauce (Café Najat’s style) - it’s easy quick herby sauce that goes on everything

ℂ𝕙𝕚𝕞𝕚𝕔𝕙𝕦𝕣𝕣𝕚 𝕊𝕒𝕦𝕔𝕖 - ℂ𝕒𝕗𝕖 ℕ𝕒𝕛𝕒𝕥’𝕤
Chimichurri sauce is known as the local ketch-up for the cuisines in Argentina & Uruguay. It’s found in everything from grilled meats, baked fish, roast chicken & roasted/ steamed veggies. It can be done in advance & keeps well in fridge for a week or 2.
It is optional on how sweet or spicy you like your chimichurri, as our household discovered in having 2 bowls of sweet & spicy chimichurri sauces.
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝:
100g/ large bunch flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
30g/small bunch fresh oregano, finely chopped
7-10 fat garlic cloves (whole bulb), finely chopped/ crushed
1 round/ banana shallot, finely chopped
1 cup apple cider/ red wine vinegar
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp seasalt or to taste
1/2 tsp black pepper
O͟p̲t͟i͟o͟n͟a͟l͟: w͟i͟t͟h͟ o͟r͟ w͟i͟t͟h͟o͟u͟t͟ h͟e͟a͟t͟
1-2 tsp chilli or chilli flakes
1-3 fresh chillies, e.g jalapeño or fiery 🌶️🌶️🌶️ finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
🔪 Ensure that all ingredients noted as finely chopped, are extremely finely chopped. It’s best not to use a food processor or blender as you need texture & this comes from the extremely fine chopping.
🥗 In a bowl, add parsley, oregano, garlic, shallot, vinegar, EV olive oil, salt & pepper & mix well.
🌶️ The amount of heat is optional in each family household: some like it extremely 🔥& others prefer it 🆒 so to strike a balance, place either 1/3 or 1/2 of the green sauce in another bowl & choose the 🔥level you want.
🫑 for a cool sauce, add finely chopped red bell pepper & for something more hot, add dried or fresh chillies to the other bowl. So you should have 1 🆒 bowl & 1 🔥🌶️ bowl for people to choose from.
🥩 use chimichurri sauce how you desire, the longer it marinades the better the flavour - ever tried it with a baked/ jacket potato???
