Stoney says: start low, go slow — the forest isn't going anywhere. Wait 90 minutes before seconds.
Steps
- Set a clean 250 ml jar and a liquid measuring cup on the counter. Everything here happens at room temperature.
- Put the parsley, cilantro, oregano, onion and garlic in a food processor and pulse in short bursts until finely minced — stop while the herbs still look green and distinct, not pureed.
- Add the red pepper flakes, olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice. Pulse two or three times only, just enough to bring it together. Season with the salt and taste.
- Scrape the sauce into the measuring cup. You want the base sitting just below the 240 ml / 1 cup line — add a little more olive oil if you're short, and if you overshoot, spoon the excess out and set it aside for another use (it isn't dosed yet, so this is free).
- Measure your 80 mg of tincture and whisk it into the sauce for a full 30 seconds, scraping the bottom and sides, until the surface looks uniform and there's no slick sitting on top. This is the dose step — don't rush it.
- Decant into the jar, seal, and refrigerate at least an hour so the garlic mellows. Shake or stir well before every use; herbs settle, and a settled jar is an uneven jar.
- Serve with a measuring spoon — one level tablespoon is one serving. Let people take a second only after waiting a good while.
- Label the jar: Measured Chimichurri · 80 mg THC total · 5 mg per tablespoon · 16 tablespoons · made [date] · 21+ only.
