Chimichurri

May 26th, 2010 Print

Chimichurri is an Argentinean sauce or condiment, similar to pesto, that is popular throughout South America.

It is traditionally used both as a marinade and a sauce for grilled steak, but you can use it as a sauce for pasta, chicken and burgers, or as a dip for challah.

Ingredients:

1 cup firmly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, trimmed of thick stems
4 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions:

  1. In a bowl of a food processor fitted with a knife blade, combine the parsley, fresh oregano, and garlic. Pulse for several seconds until coarsely chopped. Place in a small bowl.
  2. Stir in the olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Serve immediately or refrigerate. If chilled, return to room temperature before serving.
