Time 10m

Yield Makes a scant 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 clove garlic, peeled
1 cup fresh herbs (3/4 cup parsley and 1/4 cup cilantro; 1 cup mint leaves; or 1/3 cup each lightly packed chervil, chopped tarragon, and chopped chives)
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for storing

Steps:

  • Pulse garlic in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Add herbs, vinegar, salt, and pepper flakes, and pulse until herbs are finely chopped.
  • With the motor running, slowly add oil via the feeding tube, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl if necessary. Once oil is incorporated, pulse a few more times until sauce resembles a uniform, thin paste.
  • Transfer to a small container with a tight-fitting lid. Before sealing, drizzle a thin layer of oil over sauce to prevent discoloration.
