Chimichurri style sauce

cooking
  • 4 TBSP chopped Basil
  • Few sprigs of oregano, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped Parsley
  • 3 cloves minced Garlic
  • 1/2 small Shallot, minced
  • splash Red Wine vinegar
  • 3/4 cup Olive Oil
  • Juice from 1/2 Lemon
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Combine all ingredients except for about 1/2 of the olive oil in a food processor.  Pulse until the herbs are finely chopped

Add the remaining olive oils and stir to combine

Season with salt and pepper to taste

Letting the sauce rest overnight will let the flavors mingle and mellow out the punch of the raw garlic

Spread onto grilled steaks, add to cooked rice or anything else for some fresh herb flavor!
