Ingredients
- ½ cup roughly chopped red onion
- 2 whole garlic cloves peeled
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro large stems removed
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh parsley large stems removed
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Add red onion, garlic, red wine vinegar, and lime juice to the bowl of a food processor and pulse, stopping to scrape down the sides once or twice, until finely minced.
- Remove any big stems from cilantro and parsley. Remove oregano leaves by sliding your fingers down the stem. Add the cilantro, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes and pulse several times until herbs are finely chopped, but still have some texture to them, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the olive oil and pulse just one or twice to lightly combine.
- Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. Will keep well refrigerated for several days.
Notes
This recipe will yield a little over 1 cup which is plenty to serve 8 as a condiment.
