Place chopped parsley, coriander, garlic, shallots & oregano leaves into the chopper or blender and turn this on. Gradually add in chillies and jalapeño. 

Slowly add in olive oil as you are blending. Once everything is blended through, stir in the red wine vinegar (if the consistency is too thick, add a bit more olive oil to the mix). 

Grate in zest of lime and add salt and pepper to taste. right before serving, squeeze in the juice of one lime, mix through (do not add lime juice in too early, as this will brown the herbs). 

Serve as a side to complement your red meats, roasts, grilled fish and even roasted root vegetables.
