Mint Chimicurri - a bright, delicious and easy mint chimichurri recipe that is perfect for your favorite lamb recipe!

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/3 cup extra light olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1 tablespoon shallot minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • optional 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Add ingredients to food processor. 
  • Blend until it has a smooth consistency.
  • Taste and adjust salt, red pepper flakes (if using) or garlic. 
  • Serve with your favorite recipe - we love serving it with our Grilled Lamb Chops.

Notes

  • Spice Level: a lot of the spice actually comes from the raw garlic. 1 clove felt right to us, but if you want it really spicy go for 2 if you want. 
  • Serving: we love serving this with some Grilled Lamb Chops + Lemon Couscous.
  • Storage: store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
