Equipment

  • small bowl
  • 1 cup measure
  • Cutting board
  • Chef's knife

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon shallots, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup cilantro leaves, packed
  • 1 cup flat leaf parsley leaves, packed
  • 2 tablespoon fresh oregano
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Combine the shallots, garlic, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, lime juice and kosher salt in a bowl. Set it aside to marinate while you pick the cilantro and parsley leaves from the stems. You'll want 1 packed cup of each.
  • Chop the cilantro, parsley and oregano all together. I like a medium-fine texture, but feel free to chop the herbs into a more coarse or more fine texture.
  • Add the herbs and olive to the bowl and stir to distribute all the ingredients.
