Instructions

  • Place all the chimichurri ingredients in a tall jar/container or use the hand blender container.
  • Blend until the desired consistency is reached. It's okay if there are still some small pieces. Don't make it too smooth.
  • If the mixture is too thick, add a little extra olive oil.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then let it stand for a while to allow the flavors to develop.

Notes

Storage: you can store chimichurri in the fridge for around 5 days. Make sure to use a jar that you can seal or an airtight container.
