recipe for chimichurri sauce
Chimichurri sauce
Ingredients (serves 4)
1 cup flat leaf parsley leaves
2 tbsp garlic roughly chopped
¼ cup vinegar
Juice of a lime
1 small onion chopped
1 red chilli, roughly chopped or to taste
½ red capsicum, roughly chopped
Salt andf freshly ground black pepper
1 small tomato, roughly chopped
2 tbsp oregano leaves
2/3 cup olive oil
Method: place all of the ingredients down to the olive oil into the bowl of a processor. Using the pulse button, process until the mixture is chopped but retaining some texture. Add the oil and give it one burst to combine it. You don’t want it to be emulsified.
Check the seasoning and that there is enough vinegar and lime.
Serve over barbecued lamb chops, or if you’re vegetarian like me, serve over lightly fried haloumi cheese.
It also makes a great marinade and is possibly less stinky-breath-causing if used this way!
If there are any leftovers, add them to pasta sauce or anything similar for an extra bit of zing.
Now keep your distance from other humans for at least 24 hours after eating.
