Argentinian Chimichurri Recipe

Argentinian Chimichurri sauce is a wonderful way to mix up your condiment routine. All at once citrusy, tart, garlicky, herby, and a tad bit spicy, this sauce makes a great marinade or topping for chicken, steak, fish, or pork as well as potatoes and vegetables.

Ingredients

Chimichurri Sauce
  • ½ cup cilantro
  • ½ cup parsley
  • ½ onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon garlic
  • ½ teaspoon Italian blend seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ⅓ cup oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all chimichurri ingredients in a blender or food processor, and pulse until smooth. (SEE NOTE)
  2. Serve immediately, or can be stored (covered) at room temperature up to 24 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Makes about 1 cup of chimichurri sauce.
  • I prefer the resulting flavor and texture of the written method - to combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth, however more traditional chimichurri sauce is simply stirred together with the oil being stirred in very last.  A hybrid version can be made by pulsing all ingredients except for the oil, then stirring the oil in very last. All three variations are delicious!
