Description
Red Chimichurri Sauce is a robust and versatile condiment that brings a smoky, spicy flair to any meal. Originating from the rich culinary traditions of Argentina, this sauce combines the vibrant flavors of roasted red peppers, fresh parsley, and cilantro with a smoky hint of paprika and a kick of garlic and red pepper.
Ingredients
1 cup roasted red pepper or 1 (8-ounce) jar, drained
¾ cup loosely packed parsley leaves and tender stems (from 1 small bunch)
¼ cup packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
4 medium cloves garlic, peeled
1 ¾ teaspoons smoked paprika
½ teaspoon each kosher salt and black pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
⅓ cup olive oil
2 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
Instructions
In a mini food processor, add all the ingredients except for the oil and vinegar. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the oil and vinegar. Blend until the sauce is emulsified but retains some chunky texture. Adjust seasoning with extra salt and vinegar if needed.
