Nothing can add flavor to any food that we make as easily as an amazing sauce or dip.

You know me, I’m talking about sauces like my Romesco Sauce or the Lemon Pasta Sauce. Both have become a staple not only for me.

You can be sure this Chimichurri Sauce is also super easy to make, packed with flavor, versatile and seriously so delicious that you want to eat it plain spoon by spoon.

What are typical Chimichurri uses

As I mentioned, this sauce is super versatile. You can use it as a marinade or a dipping sauce for both vegetables and potatoes. Non vegans/vegetarians can also use it for meat (where it traditionally comes form) and fish.

I can also think of using it as a spread on bread. A nice fit would be my Hummus Homemade Bread or the Artisan Bread (one bowl, Dutch oven).

What you need for this Chimichurri recipe

As always, just a few simple ingredients:

• olive oil
• dried oregano
• parsley
• garlic
• chilis
• red vinegar

Optional feel free to add the following:

• onions
• smoked paprika

How to make Chimichurri Sauce

Add olive oil, parsley, oregano, garlic, chilis, vinegar and optional onions and smoked paprika to the bowl of a food processor or blender. Season with salt and pepper then blend until everything is well combined. Transfer to a jar or enjoy straight from the bowl.

Pro tip: you can blend it totally smooth or for a chunkier texture just pulse it.

This makes an amazing condiment for dinner, lunch, meal prep and many more ways.
