Chop garlic, shallot, and parsley.

Fire roast the red bell peppers over a gas stove or barbecue until softened.

Peel off the skin of the roasted red bell peppers and chop them up.

In a bowl, mix together the minced garlic, shallot, hot chili, and roasted red bell pepper.

Add 1/2 cup of red wine vinegar to the mixture and let it sit for about 10 minutes to mellow out.

In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice, 1 cup of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika (or regular paprika), 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper, and salt and pepper to taste.

After 10 minutes, combine the vinegar mixture with the olive oil mixture.

Let the chimichurri sit for a few minutes to allow flavors to meld, or for up to an hour for better flavor.

Store in the fridge after use; it will harden but will return to a pourable state when taken out.
