Can I use cilantro?
If you prefer to use cilantro, try using equal amounts (1/2 cup each) of cilantro and parsley.
Is Chimichurri spicy?
The fresh garlic and red pepper flakes in this recipe provide the spiciness in Chimichurri. If you prefer a milder version, omit the red pepper flakes.
Can I use a food processor?
For an authentic Chimichurri, we do not recommend using a food processor. It’s more likely to crush or bruise the parsley, while chopping by hand with a sharp knife produces cleaner cuts through the herbs.
Make-Ahead Tips
Not only is this an easy sauce to prepare, but you’ll also appreciate that Chimichurri stores well in the refrigerator or freezer.
