What is Chimichurri Sauce?

Chimichurri sauce is a South American condiment originating in Argentina and Uruguay made with fresh herbs, garlic, oregano and olive oil. It is traditionally served with roast meat, but can also be enjoyed with other dishes.

Ingredients and Substitutes

This section explains how to choose the best chimichurri sauce ingredients, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options.For measurements, see recipe card below.

• Extra virgin olive oil – I’m using extra virgin olive oil here, but any regular olive oil will do.
• white wine vinegar – Some chimichurri recipes use white wine vinegar while others use red wine vinegar. You can use either one. You can also use lemon juice.
• fresh parsley – Use fresh parsley (dried parsley is not recommended here). If your parsley is particularly dark and ripe, it may be more bitter than younger parsley. Some versions of this sauce also include cilantro, so you can substitute that for some parsley if you like that flavor.
• garlic – For best taste, I recommend using freshly minced garlic, but you can use 2 tsp canned garlic For convenience. For a more aromatic flavor, you can also add chopped red onion, although it’s not authentic.
• dried oregano – Dried oregano elevates the flavors, providing a subtle but distinct earthy warmth. You can also use fresh oregano (triple the amount) if you like.
• sea ​​salt
• crushed red pepper – Red pepper flakes make this chimichurri sauce recipe spicy. I recommend starting with a little and adjusting to taste.

Variation: Make red sauce!

The less common rojo (red) variant wouldn’t be considered an authentic chimichurri sauce, but it’s still delicious. Just add a few tablespoons of diced fresh tomatoes and red bell peppers.
