Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • sharp knife
  • Bowl

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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. 

Notes

  • 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.
