ARGENTINE CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

ARGENTINE CHIMICHURRI SAUCE image

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 large handful of flat leaf parsley, finely chopped (loosely packed, it's about 1/3 cup)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon toasted cumin, optional
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon dried red while flakes
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed but left whole
salt, pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Combine all the ingredients in a jar with a lid. Close jar and shake vigorously to mix. Taste and adjust seasoning to your preference. (If you prefer a smoother consistency, use a blender to puree the chimichurri, adding the smashed garlic clove afterward for subtle flavor, or including it when you puree, if you prefer more bite.) 2. Let chimichurri sit while you prepare the rest of dinner, to allow the flavors to meld. Discard the garlic clove and shake again before serving alongside our favorite grilled meats of vegetables.
