Jamie Oliver’s Chimichurri is a tangy, herb-based sauce made from fresh parsley, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and chili. It’s blended briefly to keep its rustic texture and typically served over grilled steak, chicken, or roasted vegetables. It adds freshness and a punch of acidity to savory dishes.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley (about 50g)

  • 2 garlic cloves

  • 1 small red chili (or chili flakes to taste)

  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

  • 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • Juice of ½ lemon (optional for extra zing)

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the herbs

Step 3: Add wet ingredients

  • Transfer to a bowl and stir in red wine vinegar, olive oil, and lemon juice if using.

Step 4: Season and rest

  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Let the chimichurri sit for 10–15 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
