Ingredients

Scale

Red Chimichurri Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
  • 1/2 cup packed fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 5 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup good quality olive oil

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Add the roasted red peppers, fresh parsley, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic cloves, lemon juice, black pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes to a blender. Pulse the mixture until the ingredients are well combined but still slightly chunky, preserving some texture for a rustic sauce.
  2. Combine with Olive Oil: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and stir in the olive oil gradually. Mixing by hand gives better control over the sauce’s consistency, allowing some chunks to remain for an authentic and hearty chimichurri texture.
  3. Serve: Use this red chimichurri as a vibrant accompaniment to grilled meats, roasted chicken, seafood, or fresh vegetables. It adds a smoky, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor that enhances any dish.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use high-quality roasted red peppers and extra virgin olive oil.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days; allow it to come to room temperature and stir before serving.
  • Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to taste for milder or spicier chimichurri.
  • Serve as a marinade or a topping for grilled dishes.
