Chris’s Chimmichurri

We are soon to be godparents for the third time. (This time, it’s a boy.) The actual parents hosted a surprise birthday party for Dr. Nurse this year, and she absolutely loved the chimmichurri he had prepared for a couple of the dishes. He sent home a healthy does of the stuff and posted the recipe on FaceBook a couple of days later. Given how quickly things vanish down the FB feed, I thought I had better nab the recipe and put it here for safe keeping / duplication:

Put into a food processor:

• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar
• 1/2 sweet onion
• 1 tsp red pepper flake

Pulse and let sit ten minutes.

Add:

• 1.5 cups cilantro
• 1.5 cups parsley
• 1/2 cup fresh oregano (or 1/4 cup dried)

and pulse in

• 3/4 cups extra virgin olive oil 

until a smooth past forms.

• Salt and pepper to taste.

Time to play.
