Chimichurri Verde

General

fresh herbs, acidic, garlic-forward — Argentine condiment, never cooked

When to apply

AFTER cooking only — serve as a fresh condiment alongside the meat

Ingredients & recipe

Fresh Parsley6 tbsp
Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp
Olive Oil120 ml
Apple Cider Vinegar30 ml
Garlic Powder1 tsp
Red Pepper Flakes1 tsp
Salt1 tsp

tbsp = tablespoon / cucchiaio · ml = milliliters / millilitri · tsp = teaspoon / cucchiaino

Preparation

  1. Chop parsley and cilantro finely by hand — do not use a blender (it bruises the herbs).
  2. Combine with olive oil, vinegar, garlic, chili flakes and salt.
  3. Mix and let rest at least 30 minutes before serving for flavors to meld.
  4. Serve at room temperature alongside grilled beef or lamb.

Notes

Authentic chimichurri is never cooked or marinated into the meat — it is always a post-cook condiment. The herb-to-oil ratio makes it a sauce, not a marinade.
