Chimichurri Sauce

I wanted to get a quick and easy condiment as my first post. I personally LOVE this stuff on sea bass (or other type of fish) and steaks. It really goes with anything. If you don't like it as garlicky you can cut the number of cloves in half.

8 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. plus Kosher Salt
1 tsp. oregano, dry leaves
1 tsp. black pepper, ground
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
Finely grated lemon zest from 3 lemons
4 oz. fresh lemon juice
1 bunch flat leaf (Italian) parsley
1 cup olive oil

I personally omit the red pepper flakes or just add a dash of hot sauce - I'm a wimp. It's great right away, but even better if you let it sit at room temperature for a while. No need to refrigerate.
