CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Prep Time10 mins

Course: Condiment

Cuisine: Spanish

Ingredients

• 1 bunch of cilantro
• 1/2 bunch of parsley
• 1 .75 oz package of chives
• 1/2 small chili pepper (or more if you like it spicy)
• 1-2 garlic cloves
• sea salt, to taste
• 1/4-1/2 cup olive oil
• juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

• Chop the herbs, chili and garlic very finely with a knife, add into a bowl.
• Add the fresh lemon juice, sea salt and olive oil. Taste and see if you need any more olive oil or salt. I start with 1/4 cup of olive oil and add more if I want the sauce to be more runny or not.
• The sauce keeps in the fridge for about a week. Use on eggs, meat, fish, sweet potato avocado toasts and more.
