Cilantro Chimichurri

Cilantro Chimichurri Recipe

Chimichurri is similar to pesto and has as many renditions as there are cooks. This version incorporates cilantro and resembles the chimichurri most often found in Central America. Use it as a marinade and basting sauce as well as a condiment.

Ingredients
6 garlic cloves
1 cup cilantro
1 cup flat leaf parsley
1/2 cup chopped white onion
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Place garlic in food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Add cilantro, parsley, onion, vinegar, oregano and pepper flakes Add olive oil in a thin stream and process until smooth. Add salt and pepper. Refrigerate, covered, up to 1 week. Serve with grilled steak. Makes 1 cup, enough for 6 steaks.
