Notes

Tips:

• For a smoother consistency, pulse the chimichurri in a food processor until slightly chopped.
• For the most intense flavor, let your chimichurri marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the herbs to soften and release their full flavor.
• Keep leftover chimichurri fresh for up to 5 days by storing it in an airtight container in the fridge.
