    I first heard about chimichurri from @Alatariel75 about 6 months ago when you bought some from Aldi (IIRC).

    I had loads of parsley in the garden so I looked up the recipe and made a batch.

    I became an addict like the OP!

    I had it on fish, with sides of veg & potatoes/risotto. This became my staple meal for a few weeks.

    Soooo good!

    Chimichurri

    3/4 of a large bunch of fresh flat leaf parsley, washed, stemmed and dried
    1/4 of a large bunch of cilantro, washed, stemmed and dried
    8 cloves of garlic, peeled
    3 tablespoons minced onion
    5 tablespoons distilled white vinegar, or more to taste
    5 tablespoons water
    1 teaspoon coarse salt
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes, or to taste
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

    Finely chop the parsley and garlic in the food processor. Add the onion, vinegar, water, salt, oregano, pepper flakes, and black pepper and processing brief bursts until the salt crystals are dissolved. Add the oil in a thin stream. Don't over process; the chimichurri should be fairly coarse. Will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks.

    Yes! I finally ran out of the aldi stuff so making my own would be great!

    I just made the recipe from the top and served it over some grilled chicken, roasted peppers and brown rice. Outstanding flavour!!! Thanks! The rest is in a mason jar in the fridge but I might have to sneak a spoonful later.

    Glad you liked it! It's so addicting and great on everything.... It's amazing on eggs in the morning or whenever you eat them

    Love it too OP. Nothing better with BBQ meat. I originally discovered it via Valentine Warner's recipe:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/barbecuedsirloinwith_91627

    But afterwards have found that slinging together nearly any amounts of the same ingredients has tasted good!!

    I just made chimichurri this week to serve over pork tenderloin. By the end of the meal I was just dipping everything on my plate in it...

    My favorite thing to serve it with is a flank steak cooked medium rare, sliced thinly, with roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, crusty bread and a nice malbec...

    I am also a chimichurri addict. I usually make it to go with steak, but I use the leftovers on everything - pork chops, chicken, roasted potatoes, rice, ANYTHING. I've tried different recipes but my favourite so far is the one from an America's Test Kitchen cookbook I have. I will try your recipe sometime to see how it compares!

    Same here! I look for reasons to use chimichurri. We have a close friend from Argentina who introduced us to this delicious condiment. I made some last weekend and will need to make more soon. Unfortunately, my family doesn't share the love.

    I love it on everything and just made a big batch. It freezes well too...just pour a thin layer of olive oil over the top.
