Fresh Chimichurri
Makes about 2 cups.
Ingredients
-
1 shallot, finely chopped

- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup sherry vinegar
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro or flat leaf parsley
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped oregano
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
Step 1
Combine shallots, pepper, garlic, herbs and salt in the bowl of the mortar, and pound with the pestle until the juices from the shallots begin to make the mixture a little wet.
