CHIMICHURRI



Chimichurri image

Chimichurri is a herbaceous and vinegary sauce from Argentina that's classically paired with grilled meats, especially beef, but its uses don't end there. You can combine it with a dollop of mayonnaise to marinate chicken cutlets. (That same mayo-and-chimichurri mixture makes an excellent potato salad dressing, or toss it with sliced scallions and grilled or boiled corn cut from the cob.) Combine chimichurri with equal parts olive oil to use as a marinade and dressing for grilled vegetables. Add a few crushed cloves of garlic to that same mixture, brush it on a split ciabatta or baguette, and grill or broil it for an oregano-packed take on garlic bread. It may be tempting to think of a chimichurri as a sort of Argentine parallel to Italian pesto, but it is not: While pesto is made in a mortar and pestle and emulsified into a creamy mixture with a base mostly comprised of olive oil, chimichurri is made with chopped dried herbs that are steeped in hot salty water (the brine is called salmuera) and vinegar, with less olive oil added. Its texture comes from the dried herbs rehydrating in salt water. Chimichurri can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks; it will lose its bright green color, but it will improve in flavor with time.

Time 35m

Yield About 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup dried oregano
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
1/2 cup hot water
Kosher salt
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
8 medium garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil (it need not be extra-virgin, but it can be), plus more as needed
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves, finely minced
1 tightly packed cup fresh parsley leaves, finely minced
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine dried oregano, paprika, red-pepper flakes and cumin, if using, in a large bowl. Add hot water and a big pinch of salt and stir with a fork. Add vinegar and stir to combine.
  • Smash garlic with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle to form a rough paste, then drizzle in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and work the garlic and oil around the mortar until it emulsifies and no loose oil remains. Scrape this garlic mixture into the bowl with the oregano mixture and stir to combine. (Alternatively, smash garlic cloves on a cutting board with the flat side of a chef's knife. Sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt, then use the side of your knife to scrape the mixture back and forth until a paste forms. Drizzle a little olive oil over the paste and work it in with the side of the knife. Repeat until you've added about a tablespoon of olive oil, then scrape the mixture up and transfer it to the bowl with the oregano mixture, add the remaining olive oil, and stir to combine.)
  • Add minced fresh oregano and parsley and stir to combine. Set aside at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or in the refrigerator overnight, to allow the dried oregano to rehydrate and the flavors and texture to develop. Stir vigorously before tasting, then adjust seasoning with salt and fresh black pepper. Unused chimichurri can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for several weeks.

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons diced seeded jalapenos
1 teaspoon red chile flakes

DRY CHIMICHURRI RUB



Dry Chimichurri Rub image

In Argentina, this mix of herbs and spices is combined with oil and vinegar and used as a sauce for grilled meats. For best results, use dried herb leaves-not powdered or ground.

Categories     Herb     No-Cook     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Spice     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes about 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons dried oregano leaves
3 tablespoons dried basil leaves
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
2 tablespoons dried thyme leaves
2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried savory leaves
1 tablespoon smoked paprika*
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 to 2 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk all ingredients in medium bowl. Transfer to airtight container. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 month ahead. Store at room temperature.
  • * Sometimes labeled Pimentón Dulce or Pimentón de La Vera Dulce; available at some supermarkets, at specialty foods stores, and from tienda.com.

Tips:

1. **Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.** This includes using fresh herbs, vegetables, and eggs. 2. **Chop the herbs finely.** This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the omelette. 3. **Don't overcook the omelette.** The eggs should be cooked through, but still slightly runny in the center. 4. **Serve the omelette immediately.** This will prevent it from becoming dry. 5. **Garnish the omelette with additional herbs, vegetables, or cheese.** This will add extra flavor and color to the dish. 6. **Experiment with different fillings.** In addition to chimichurri, you can also add other fillings to your omelette, such as cheese, vegetables, or meat. 7. **Make sure your pan is hot enough before adding the eggs.** This will help to prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan. 8. **Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs as they cook.** This will help to create a smooth, even omelette. 9. **Fold the omelette over once it is cooked through.** This will help to keep the eggs moist and prevent them from becoming dry. 10. **Serve the omelette with your favorite sides.** Chimichurri is a great pairing for eggs, but you can also serve the omelette with other sides, such as toast, fruit, or yogurt.

The chimichurri omelette is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be customized to your liking.
