Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion, and stir to coat. Cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes more. Let cool.
- Make chimichurri: Process onion, parsley, salt, vinegar, cilantro, oregano, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, cumin, cayenne, and 5 tablespoons oil in a food processor until ingredients are finely chopped and mixture comes together, about 15 seconds. Set aside.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds). Using remaining 1/4 cup oil, brush cut sides of bread. Grill, cut sides down, without turning, until undersides are lightly charred, about 4 minutes. Cut each bread half crosswise into 3 pieces, and spread each piece with chimichurri.
CHIMICHURRI BREAD
The recipe is from Cuisine at Home. A delightful addition to grilled meats. When splitting the bread, try doing it by hand. This gives the bread a rustic look and leaves lots of nooks and crannies for the butter. When I split the bread I used a dinner fork and was able to "fork split" the baguette. I have adjusted the amount of ingredients.

GRILLED CHEESY GARLIC BREAD
This takes only minutes to make and is perfect to throw on the grill just before serving dinner. I like to make this with different cheeses, such as Parmesan or Gruyere, or whatever I happen to have on hand. Keep an eye on it constantly, as it tends to burn easily!

Tips for Grilling Bread with Chimichurri
- Use a variety of breads: You can use any type of bread you like for this recipe, but some good options include ciabatta, French bread, and sourdough. You can also use pita bread or naan if you prefer.
- Brush the bread with olive oil: This will help the bread to brown evenly and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
- Grill the bread over medium heat: This will help to prevent the bread from burning. You should grill the bread for about 2 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and has grill marks.
- Make the chimichurri sauce while the bread is grilling: This will give the flavors time to meld. You can find a recipe for chimichurri sauce in the article.
- Serve the grilled bread with the chimichurri sauce: You can also add other toppings to the bread, such as grilled vegetables, cheese, or meat.
