Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3-5 Garlic cloves
  • 2 Tablespoon fresno chili pepper or 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup Fresh Parsley
  • 2 Tablespoon Oregano
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/3 cup Neutral Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Fine sea salt more or less to taste

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a mini food processor, add garlic and pepper. Pulse until roughly chopped.
  • Then, add parsley, oregano, red wine vinegar, lime juice, and red pepper flakes (if using instead of a whole pepper). Pulse until roughly chopped and combined; you're looking for a uniform mixture but not a pureed one.
  • Transfer the herb mixture to a bowl and cover with oil. Let seep for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before using. Serve over grilled meats, veggies, or as a marinade (or however else you desire!). Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Notes

Makes a scant 3/4 cups of sauce.
