Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup parsley (finely chopped)
- 3-4 cloves garlic (finely chopped or minced)
- 2 red chilies (small, or 1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon finely chopped chili))
- 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt (level)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon))
Instructions
- Chop the garlic and chili slowly. Add more until reaching your desired taste. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Add salt and pepper.
- Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to release all of the flavors into the oil before using. Ideally, let it sit for more than 2 hours if time allows.
- Use it to baste meats (chicken or steaks) while grilling or barbecuing. Don't use it as a marinade; baste the meats with chimichurri instead.
