how to make Argentinian Chimichurri sauce

Chris hates plain white rice. He also said he didn’t like chimichurri sauce. That’s when I made it at home because I knew he was used to the stuff in the jar. You need to make chimichurri at home, without a blender, and just a good old knife and cutting board. You can use fresh or dried oregano. I went with dried as that is what is most readily available.

The main ingredients are parsley, garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, red wine vinegar. That’s it, simple right? The reason we suggest using a knife over a blender or processor is mainly due to the texture. A true chimichurri has texture and won’t be a bright soupy mixture, more of an herby mixture where you can still separate the olive oil.

If you want Authentic Chimichurri you should always use your best kitchen tool, your chef knife!

how long does chimichurri sauce last

I make a batch of Argentinian Chimichurri Sauce every Sunday and we usually finish it by Tuesday. Don’t make too much that you won’t use it within 2-3 days. We like to allow our chimichurri to sit about 30-60 minutes before enjoying. This allows the flavors to really develop.

Additionally, when we top our food we like to add in a little more flavor by squeezing on some fresh lemon or lime.
