Ingredients

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar plus more for adjusting
  • 1 teaspoon loosely packed orange zest
  • ½ teaspoon Aleppo pepper or generous pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot NOTE: A yellow onion works in a pinch.
  • 2 to 4 small garlic cloves, minced NOTE: I adore garlic in a dynamic sauce like chimichurri so I use the full amount.
  • 1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced
  • 1 small Fresno chile, seeded and minced
  • 30 grams minced pickled Fresno or Hot Hungarian chile
  • 15 grams fresh basil leaves (scant 3/4 ounce or one slightly packed cup)
  • 15 grams flat-leaf parsley (scant 3/4 ounce or one slightly packed cup)
  • 10 grams cilantro (about 1/4 ounce or 1 loosely packed cup)
  • 3 grams oregano (about 2 tablespoons )
  • Flake-style salt, to taste Note: I start with 1/4 teaspoon and adjust from there.
