Fresh, garlicky, herby, and packed with flavour, this chimichurri instantly upgrades steak, sausages, chicken, veggies, sandwiches… honestly, EVERYTHING.

Ingredients:
• ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small shallot, finely diced (optional)
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 small red chili or 2 tsp chili flakes 🌶️
• 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ⅔ cup olive oil

Instructions:

Finely chop parsley, garlic, and shallot.
Add everything except olive oil to a bowl.
Stir in olive oil until combined.

💡 Pro Tip: Don’t overblend it, chimichurri should stay chunky and vibrant, not smooth like pesto.

What's this black garlic stuff everyone's been raving about?

Black garlic is NOT a variety of garlic, but any garlic that has been cured and aged. This process created a sweet, aged balsamic vinegar taste with a hint of roasted garlic.

Vortex Spice takes it to the next level and makes a (staff approved) Black Garlic Paste with 15yr Balsamic Vinegar. This paste is rich, sweet, and umami-packed! Don't take our word for it...try it for yourself!
