Chimichurri Recipe

Finally, what you've been asking for: the Chimichurri recipe. Now you will be able to prepare this sauce and give your barbecues a delicious argentinian touch.
First, let me tell you some facts about Chimichurri. It is a sauce originally from Argentina that has a liquid consistence and it's used with grilled meat and chorizos. It is told that its name comes from a british called Jimmy McCurry who invented it in the 19th century. But that's one of various versions about the origin of this sauce's name.

OK, let's go with the recipe. You will need:

1/4 Cup of Water
1/2 Cup of Olive Oil
1/4 Cup of Vinegar (Red wine type will be good)
1/4 Cup of parsley, chopped in little pieces
1/2 Onion, chopped in little pieces
1/2 Red bell pepper, chopped in little pieces
2 cloves of garlic chopped in little pieces
1 spoon of dried oregano
1 spoon of paprika
1 spoon of salt
1/2 spoon of black pepper

Now let's prepare it. First, put all the ingredients except the oil, the water and the vinegar into a large bowl. Make a nice mixture with all of them. Then add the water and the vinegar and mix again. You can let it rest for 30 minutes now. After that, add the olive oil and mix one more time. Now you have the chimichurri almost ready. The only thing that you must do is to let it rest in the fridge for a whole night or even 1 o 2 days. That will give the sauce a better taste. Some people store it in the fridge even for a week or more. I hope this recipe helped you on making this great sauce. See you next time with another great recipe from Argentina!.
