Whether it’s our Quick Pickled Red Onions, Quick Pickled Carrots or this Chimichurri, we love what these condiments can do for a simple sandwich, salad or soup. Chimichurri is an Argentinean sauce that’s perfect for dolloping on so many things. Be sure to check out our Seared Scallops – this Chimichurri is a must!
A mortar and pestle works great for this recipe. This comes together quickly, and you’re not looking to grind the herbs into a paste. Chimichurri is a loose, oil-based condiment that can be drizzled versus spooned as a paste. If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, a food processor works. Just be sure to pulse so that you don’t puree the sauce.
Ingredients
½ cup parsley
½ cup cilantro
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 tsp lemon zest
2 -3 Tbl fresh lemon juice
½ tsp Gochugaru Chile Flakes
½ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Tear the parsley and cilantro and add to the mortar. Give it a few presses with the pestle to begin to break it apart and release the oils.
- Add the garlic and lemon zest and use the pestle to press the ingredients together. It should smell very fragrant.
- Add in the lemon juice, Chile Flakes, salt and Jalapeño Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Grind with the pestle just a few times then allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to release all of the flavors into the oil before using.
