Chimichurri Sauce
A couple of weeks ago I made some Chimichurri sauce for the first time and it was a revelation. This Latin American sauce is absolutely fantastic and a must for grilled meat on the backyard barbecue.
The next time you grill some chorizo sausage or your favourite cut of beef you have to try it with some Chimichurri sauce. Here’s how to make it:
1 tablespoon of chopped garlic
2 cups of packed Italian parsley
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Throw everything except the olive oil, salt and pepper into a food processor and process until the mixture is chunky. Slowly add the olive oil until the mixture has emulsified. Season it with the salt and pepper and fire up the barbecue.
