Chimichurri is an Argentinian uncooked herb sauce, I personally make green chimichurri. This gets it colors from a ton of parsley. It is my all time favorite sauce to marinade and grill any type of meat in. The flavor is very strong and fresh. It will really make you fall in love with this recipe the first time you try it. This sauce has s also meant to be used as a dipping sauce, if you are a person that just prefers your basic salt and better to cook with. I hope you enjoy and happy eating.
GROCERY LIST
1 Bundle of Parsley
1 Head of Garlic
1/3 Cup White Wine
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
1/3 Cup Lemon Juice
Pinch of Salt (to taste)
Pinch of Pepper (to taste)
Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes (to taste)
PREPARATION
Place all ingredients into food processor and blend until puréed. That is really it, this will be your new favorite marinade or dipping sauce for grilled meats. I personally use an immersion blender for this step and a quart plastic cup. It is a lot less mess to clean up.
USING AS A MARINADE
I have found that this recipe works with almost any meat. I have personally used it on Venison, Pork, Beef, and Chicken. It went great with all of them.
The marinade has a very strong flavor, so I would not recommend letting it marinade for more then 6 hours.
Pineapple Variation
Use the above recipe but add in 3 medium slices of pineapple and a 1/2 cup of pineapple juice into your purée. I would recommend trying this with chicken or pork.
