• Let’s get down to business! Here’s how to whip up this delicious chimichurri sauce in a few easy steps:

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

• Make sure you have all your ingredients ready to go. It makes the process smoother. Chop the cilantro and parsley if you haven’t already. Measure everything out so you can keep the flow going.

Step 2: Combine the Herbs

• In a mixing bowl, add the fresh cilantro leaves and parsley leaves. Get in there and give them a quick chop for finer pieces, or leave them chunkier based on your preference. Both options work fabulously.

Step 3: Add Flavorings

• Now add the minced garlic, honey, lime juice, and red wine vinegar to the herbs. These ingredients are the backbone of your chimichurri sauce, bringing flavor and zest right from the start.

Step 4: Season

• Next, sprinkle in the kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper, red pepper flakes, and cumin. These spices add depth, ensuring that your sauce is more than one-dimensional.

Step 5: Mix in Oil

• Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while stirring the mixture. This step helps emulsify the ingredients, creating a beautifully cohesive sauce. The olive oil also adds a richness that makes this chimichurri sauce incredibly flavorful.

Step 6: Taste and Adjust

• After mixing, it’s time to taste your creation. Feel free to adjust the salt, acidity, or sweetness based on your personal preference. This step ensures the sauce is just right for you. Some like it spicier—add more red pepper flakes if that’s your style!

Step 7: Rest and Store

• Let your chimichurri sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Afterward, you can store it in the refrigerator if not using immediately.
