Ingredients

  • 1/2 x Cup Parsley - finely chopped. A stalks removed.

  • 1 x Red onion, loosely chopped ready for processor

  • 4 x Garlic cloves, chopped ready for the processor

  • 2 x Tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 1 x Medium dried ancho pepper - ready for processor. See note

  • 1/2 x Cup olive oil

  • 1 x Teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 x Tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1/4 x Teaspoon black pepper

  • Salt not really needed, however, add no more than 1/2 x teaspoon if preferred.

Preparation

Pulse the garlic, red onion and ancho pepper to a fine puree. Then add the parsley, oregano, black pepper and olive oil. Do not overly puree - keep just a little chunky. The texture is important. Next place the pureed ingredients in a bowl and add the lemon juice and vinegar, stir well then refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavours to blend well before serving.

Important: You will love the flavour Ancho Peppers brings to this recipe. Exceptional very mild heat with sweet raisin and a lovely indefinable flavour. Simply remove the stalk and seeds to be ready for the processor.
