Summer Recipe: Chimichurri Sauce

Summer is here, I can almost taste it! One of my favorite things to do in the summer is barbecue with my family. When I think of the smell of BBQ, I’m flooded with fun memories of family and friends and the excitement of summertime. There are endless recipes that can be made on the grill and we have the entire summer to test some out! I can’t wait to make new BBQ memories with my family at our new home this summer, especially now that we actually have our own BBQ. One recipe that’s been on repeat in our home, Chimichurri Sauce!

Chimichurri sauce is so versatile, I use it as a sauce or marinade on steaks, shrimps, even chicken! There’s a few ways to make it either with cilantro or parsley. I typically lean towards parsley.

Recipe:

1 Cup Parsley – make sure to cut the stems

3-4 Cloves Garlic

2 Tablespoons Fresh Oregano (if dried 2 tsp)

1/2 Cup Olive Oil (my fav Fancy Peasant GEVOO)

2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar

1 Teaspoon Sea Salt

1/4 Teaspoon Fresh Black Pepper

1/4 Teaspoon Red Pepper

Directions:

Place parsley, garlic, and oregano into a food processor or chopper. Once chopped, add olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and red pepper. Super easy! And be sure to taste, sometimes I’ll add in more red pepper or more olive oil depending on how the parsley absorbs the oil. You can top this marinade on grilled shrimp, chicken, and steak! Happy Summering!
