Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Herbs

    Rinse the fresh parsley and cilantro under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove any thick stems and roughly chop the leaves.

  2. 2

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and smoked paprika. Mix well to combine.

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the chimichurri and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.

  4. 4

    Char the Sauce

    Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chimichurri sauce and allow it to char for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

    Let the chimichurri cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature, perfect as a condiment for grilled meats or vegetables.
