Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  

• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
  

• 1 tbsp coffee (freshly brewed, preferably strong)
  

• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  

• 1/2 cup olive oil
  

• 1 tsp smoked paprika
  

• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  

• Salt and pepper to taste
  

Preparation:
In a bowl, combine the parsley, cilantro, garlic, and smoked paprika. Add the freshly brewed coffee, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. Mix well, then season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
