Lime Chimichurri image

If you like lime, parsley and garlic you'll love this tangy sauce for any type of meat, fish or chicken - I even tried it on pork and it was yummy. I use Via Nueva brand lemon salt (Sal Con Limon) and just love it on almost everything. You can order it online at vianueva.com using paypal. I save the Chimichurri sauce in a jar with a tight fitting lid for up to 2 weeks, thats all its ever lasted before being eaten. Fresh squeezed limes add alot to the flavor. You can use less olive oil too.

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 cup olive oil
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons white vinegar
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
1 teaspoon salt (I use lemon salt, Sal Con Limon)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper or 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Parsley should be chopped up pretty small and should equal about 1 cup. You can chop the garlic and shallots in a little food processor if you have one but I would hand chop the parsley.
  • Combine and mix all the ingredients. Reserve half of the marinade for dipping. Marinade your steak (or whatever your grilling) in the other half for as little as 1 hour but overnight is best for beef.
  • Grill your steak (or whatever your grilling) and serve the reserved marinade for dipping or topping.
