Description

A tangy, creamy version of classic chimichurri that adds a delightful twist to grilled meats, veggies, and sandwiches.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)


Instructions

  1. Load the blender. Add parsley, cilantro, garlic, sour cream, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend until smooth. Pulse a few times, then blend until the sauce turns creamy and mostly uniform. Stop to scrape down the sides once or twice so the herbs fully incorporate.
  3. Taste and tweak. If too thick, add a teaspoon of olive oil or a small splash of water. If not bright enough, add a little more vinegar. For more punch, add a pinch more salt or an extra clove of garlic.
  4. Serve. Use as a sauce, dip, or dressing.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Stir before using as the sauce may separate slightly.
