Oats Free No-Vinegar Chimichurri
Bright, herby, and punchy with garlic and a little heat, this chimichurri is the kind of sauce that makes everything it touches taste better. Fresh flat-leaf parsley and oregano are chopped by hand until fine and fragrant, then brought together with minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and good olive oil. The lemon does the heavy lifting here in place of vinegar, giving the sauce its signature tang while keeping the ingredient list clean and completely free of any grain-based additives or hidden fillers. It comes together in one bowl with nothing more than a knife and a whisk, which means less cleanup and more time enjoying the results. After a short rest at room temperature, the herbs soften just enough and the flavors meld into something that tastes like it took far more effort than it did. Spoon it over grilled steak, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread and watch it disappear fast.
