Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 bunch parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp thyme finely chopped
  • 1 tsp bay leaf small flakes
  • 1 tbsp coriander finely chopped
  • red chilli flakes to taste
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

To Make Green Chimichurri

  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar
  • ½ green bell pepper deseeded and finely chopped

To Make Red Chimichurri

  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar instead of white wine vinegar
  • ½ red bell pepper deseeded and finely chopped (instead of green pepper, if used)
  • 1 tomato peeled, seeded, finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Combine all the ingredients except the oil, vinegar and water to a large bowl and mix together well, ensuring all the herbs and spices (especially the salt) are distributed evenly.
  • Allow to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Bring the vinegar and water to the boil, add to the other ingredients and mix well. This helps to soften the taste of the onion and garlic.
  • Allow to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Add the oil and mix well. If the liquid part doesn’t cover the ingredients add oil water and vinegar in a 2:1:1 ratio to cover them.
  • Transfer to an air-tight container and refrigerate overnight at least, or better, for a few days.
  • When needed, remove from the refrigerator about 30 minutes ahead of time to allow the oil to thin out again. Stir well and serve.
