Chimichurri

Ingredients

Quantities for 8 servings.

• 60 g Flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp Dried oregano
• 6 clove Garlic
• 1 tsp Chilli flakes
• 60 ml Red wine vinegar
• 180 ml Olive oil
• 60 ml Warm water
• 1 tsp Coarse salt

Method

1. Dissolve the salt in the warm water: that spreads it evenly instead of leaving it on the bottom of the jar.
2. Rub the dried oregano between your palms and steep it in the vinegar for five minutes: it softens and releases its scent.
3. Chop the parsley and garlic fine with a knife. The garlic is chopped rather than crushed: crushed it gives a sharpness that never leaves.
4. Mix everything together, pour in the oil and stir. Let it stand two hours at room temperature.
