Chimichurri Sauce


Chimichurri is an Argentinian herb sauce typically served over meats. It it fresh and herbal and it wonderful on steaks and chicken in particular.

You will need:

  • bunch of parsley (I always choose flat/Italian vs. curly)
  • 5-6 fresh oregano leaves (it's pretty strong stuff fresh!)
  • small bunch of chives
  • small bunch of mint
  • small bunch of basil
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes 
  • salt/pepper
  • 2-3 tbsp red wine/ sherry vinegar
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Step 1: get your blend of fresh herbs. I have picked all of mine from the backyard.


Step 2: add everything to the food processor except the oil. Blend until you get a nice puree. Add the oil last and blend to combine. Taste it and add more salt or pepper or chili flakes or lemon as necessary. Store in fridge in a sealed container.



We had some grilled Chorizo and chicken breast that we served it on. Tonight I will have to make a steak to use the rest on!
