Step-by-Step Instructions for Basil Chimichurri Recipe
- Begin by gathering all your fresh ingredients: basil leaves, parsley, red onion, garlic, and spices.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the basil leaves, parsley, chopped red onion, diced garlic, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. Pulse several times until the herbs are finely chopped.
- With the processor running on medium speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until a thick, luscious sauce forms.
- Once the sauce thickens, season your chimichurri generously with sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
- If you prefer a thinner chimichurri, add more olive oil gradually until you reach your desired consistency.
- Transfer the chimichurri to an airtight container and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
