Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup parsley stems cut off
  • 1/2 cup cilantro stems cut off
  • 8 cloves garlic
  • 4 serrano peppers cut in 2-3 pieces
  • 2 small shallots cut in quarters
  • 1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Take your parsley, cilantro, garlic, serrano peppers, shallots & crushed red pepper flakes and add them to a food processor.
  • Pulse until all ingredients are chopped finely. If needed, use a spatula to scrape the sides of the food processor inwards, so larger pieces get chopped. Then add in your vinegar and salt + black pepper per taste. Pulse again 1-2 times.
  • Remove into a bowl and pour olive oil in. Mix and serve.

Notes

  • If you don't have rice vinegar, you can use red wine vinegar because that is the traditional way. Another alternative is apple cider vinegar.
  • Since we are using fresh herbs, store this in a jar in the fridge.
