Spicy Chimichurri Sauce

Fresh, herbaceous, and spicy, this fiery Spicy Chimichurri Sauce is just begging to be served on top of grilled proteins. And fellow cilantro-haters will appreciate this no cilantro parsley chimichurri.

Instructions

  1. Remove the stems from the parsley. Cut the stems off of the serrano peppers. *I buzz the seeds and pith right into the chimichurri to maximize the spice. If you prefer, remove the seeds and pith from the serrano peppers. 
  2. Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender, and puree for 20 seconds. 
  3. Remove lid, scrape down sides, and puree for another 5-10 seconds.
  4. For best results, wait at least 2 hours before use to let the flavors develop.

  • Don't taste the sauce right away. I think freshly made chimichurri resembles the taste of grass clippings. It NEEDS time to sit before it tastes truly awesome. I recommend tasting after 2 hours to see if you’re pleased with the level of heat, if you need to add a pinch more salt, etc.
