Description

A vibrant, herb-heavy sauce that’s perfect for grilled meats and fresh veggies.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup (25 grams) fresh parsley
  • 1 cup (50 grams) fresh cilantro
  • 3 cloves of garlic, peeled
  • ½ onion, peeled and quartered
  • 2 small red chili peppers
  • 2 tablespoons oregano
  • ½ cup (125 milliliters) olive oil
  • ¼ cup (60 milliliters) fresh lime juice or red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Add ingredients to a food processor: Put the parsley, cilantro, garlic, onion, chili peppers, oregano, olive oil, and lime juice (or red wine vinegar) into the bowl.
  2. Pulse to chop: Pulse in short bursts until the mixture is well combined and finely chopped, but still textured.
  3. Season thoughtfully: Add salt and pepper, then pulse once more. Taste and adjust according to your preference.
  4. Serve: Spoon over grilled meat (or anything else) and enjoy.

Notes

For the best flavor, let the sauce rest for 15-30 minutes before serving.
