# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 cup Garlic Scapes
02 - 1 cup Fresh Parsley
03 - 1/2 cup Olive Oil

→ Seasonings & Spices

04 - 1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
05 - 1 tsp Salt
06 - 2 Garlic Cloves

→ Flavor Boosters

07 - 1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar

→ Optional Extras

08 - Lemon Juice

# Instructions:

01 - Wash the garlic scapes thoroughly and chop them roughly. No need to be too precise. It's all about that rustic charm, right?
02 - Wash the parsley and chop it finely. The finer you chop it, the smoother the chimichurri will be.
03 - Mince the garlic cloves. I always use a garlic press – it's so much faster than mincing by hand!
04 - In a bowl, combine the chopped garlic scapes, parsley, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt. Give it a good mix.
05 - Slowly whisk in the red wine vinegar, followed by the olive oil. Whisk until everything is well combined and emulsified.
06 - Taste the chimichurri and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes to your liking.

# Notes:

01 - Don't over-process the chimichurri – you want to keep some texture.
02 - Store the chimichurri in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
03 - Instead of red wine vinegar, you can use white wine vinegar or even apple cider vinegar.
04 - This chimichurri is amazing with grilled steak, chicken, or fish.
