Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh flat-leaf parsley, stems discarded (about 1 large bunch)
- ¾ cup fresh cilantro (about ½ large bunch)
- ¼ cup fresh oregano leaves
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- 3 jarred piquillo peppers
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (from about ¼ medium lemon)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1½ pounds dry Spanish chorizo, cut into 1-inch slices
Directions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, piquillo peppers, 1 cup of the olive oil, the sherry vinegar and lemon juice and blend until a chunky puree forms. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
