Chimichurri sauce

To prepare Chimichurri sauce, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 lemon (juice and zest)
• 1/2 yellow or green bell pepper
• 1 green chili pepper
• 225 ml olive oil
• 125 ml chopped fresh parsley
• 2 crushed garlic cloves
• salt and pepper to taste

Wash the lemon and carefully grate its zest, making sure not to touch the white pith, as it can add bitterness. After that, squeeze the juice of the lemon into a bowl and add the grated zest.

Next, take the sweet pepper and chili pepper, slice them open, and remove the seeds. Finely chop both peppers and add them to the bowl with the lemon.

Then add all the other ingredients: olive oil (225 ml), chopped parsley (125 ml), crushed garlic cloves, and salt and pepper to taste.

Now blend all the ingredients using an immersion blender until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.

Chimichurri sauce is perfect for serving with meat dishes and vegetables, adding a spicy flavor and aroma.
