Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Bundle Parsley About 2 cups chopped and packed down
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Serrano Pepper Can use Jalapeno instead, take out veins and seeds for less spice, or leave it out
  • ½ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ¼ Cup Red Wine Vinegar
  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt

Instructions

  • This one is super basic. Place the parsley, garlic, pepper into a food processor. Pulse until combined. Empty out into a bowl and whisk (or fork) in the olive oil, vinegar, and salt. Let sit for up to a week covered and refrigerated. It won't last that long, it's too delicious. If you make it ahead of time the flavor gets stronger over time.
