 Chimichurri Sauce

Prep:  20 minutes
Yield:  1 cup

Ingredients

⅓ cup red wine vinegar
2  cups cilantro, stems removed
1 cup flat leaf parsley, stems removed
2 medium-sized cloves garlic
½ tsp Ancho chili powder
¼ tsp smoked paprika
½ + 1 pinch kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup mint leaves

Directions

1.   In a food processor, combine the vinegar, cilantro, parsley, garlic, spices and seasonings. 

2.   Pulse the food processor until the leaves of the cilantro and parsley are uniformly chopped and the garlic is roughly minced.

3.   Add the mint leaves and half of the olive oil and pulse the food processor a few times to loosely incorporate the oil and mint.

4.   With the food processor running, slowly drizzle the remaining olive oil until all of the oil is incorporated into the mixture.

Notes

For a more rustic chimichurri sauce, continue to blend to your preferred texture. If you prefer a more refined sauce, just continue to blend the mixture in the food processor until smooth and the oil is emulsified.

The sauce will be both brightest in color and taste right after making it.  Because the vinegar will slowly begin to dull the bright green color, we recommend that you make the sauce no more than 1 hour before serving.
