Cutting Board
sharp knife
Bowl
- ½ cup olive oil good quality
- ¼ cup fresh parsley finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves finely minced
- 1 small red chili deseeded and finely diced
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
Finely chop the fresh parsley and chilies, and finely mince the fresh garlic. Place the parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, oregano, and red chilies in a bowl.
Stir it and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover it and let it sit for at least 1 hour.
- Use the best high-quality olive oil you can get your hands on. Anytime you are serving olive oil straight out of the bottle without cooking, I recommend using one that tastes delicious.
- Make sure the parsley is bright green and fresh.
- Avoid garlic powder or pre-chopped store-bought garlic. I highly recommend using fresh garlic.
- Want to make it spicy? Add a generous amount of red crushed pepper flakes.
