Bright, punchy condiment of finely chopped flat-leaf parsley and fresh mint loosened with olive oil and red wine vinegar. Pressed garlic, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes give it bite and heat, while a coarse, just-pulsed texture keeps every herb distinct. Bold and sharp — a little goes a long way over grilled meat or vegetables.
