Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
3-4 cloves garlic (, finely chopped or minced)
2 small red chilies (, or 1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon finely chopped chili))
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 level teaspoon coarse salt
pepper (, to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon))

Steps:

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to release all of the flavours into the oil before using. Ideally, let it sit for more than 2 hours, if time allows.
Chimichurri can be prepared earlier than needed, and refrigerated for 24 hours, if needed.
Use to baste meats (chicken or steaks) while grilling or barbecuing. We don't use it as a marinade, but choose to baste our meats with chimichurri instead. However, you can use it as a marinade if you wish. Also, add a couple of tablespoons over your steak to serve.

CHIMICHURRI SAUCE A LA URUGUAYA, SOUTH AMERICA

Chimichurri Sauce a La Uruguaya, South America image

The key to making a great chimchurri sauce is having fresh herbs and patience. With both combinations, you can make a natural herb sauce for meat that will both inspire, enhance, and showplace your meat grilling while impressing friends and relatives. Chimichurri sauce from Uruguay is not meant to be peppery hot; there are no serrano, jalapeno or chile peppers grown in Uruguay at all. Rather, the sauce is meant to provide a subtle yet robust flavor explosion to be eaten with grilled meats to bring barbeque "alive" with natural flavors. If mixed right, it accomplishes this goal very easily and readily.

Time 20m

Yield 32 ounces, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
8 leaves fresh basil
1/2 bunch fresh perejil (if you are in Uruguay, similar to Cilantro, but not quite)
1/2 fresh yellow onion
2 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 lime
1 dash sea salt
1 dash fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

Use a large plastic bowl that has a good sealing cover to it.
First add the 1/3 C of Olive Oil, and gently stir in the can of stewed tomatoes.
Chop the fresh basil leaves into tiny pieces, and pour into your mixture.
Now finely chop the 1/2 bunch of fresh perejil (do not discard the stems), and add into the mixture above, including chopped stem pieces. (The stem of the perejil has all of the intense flavor.).
Finely chop 1/2 of a fresh yellow onion, and add to the above sauce mixture.
Now add in the 2 tsp of oregano and 2 tsp of minced garlic. And add a dash of sea salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
Squeeze 1/2 of a fresh lime over the mixture and stir well. Now refrigerate the chimichurri sauce for at least one hour. Then serve as a side dish to your favorite outdoor grilled meats, for that truly South American flavor. Believe me, your guests will not need any barbeque sauce after tasting Chimchurri sauce with their meats!
