Chimichurri sauce

[indisguyz]

Does anyone else use this stuff on various kinds of grilled meats? Beef, chicken, pork, etc.

Take fresh cilantro and garlic and finely mince them. Put the mixture in a bowl and slowly mix in EV olive oil until it's like a saucy consistency. Then add in salt, pepper and crushed red pepper to taste. Finish with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.

I seem to be putting this on everything lately.

Oh, yes! Great stuff. I make a couple of versions and use it a lot.

I love it on grilled steak or chicken.

Marinate some flank or skirt steak, some chicken breasts, grill some veggies (corn, peppers, tomatoes, onions, summer squash, etc.). Pile it all on a huge platter and serve the chimichurri (and a lot of it) on the side.

Diluted with more oil and vinegar for a salad dressing, too.

I use it on grilled steaks and fish. If you have fresh chilis try using them instead of the dried. I also like fresh lemon thyme added in as well.

I have a couple of friends from S. America. They say each place has their own signature recipe, on the tables at all times. Each region and/or country has different takes on the chimichurri, too.

Good stuff.
