Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons packed fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 loaf ciabatta, halved horizontally

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.

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.

Conclusion

Grilled bread with chimichurri is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for summer parties or picnics. The bread is grilled until it is golden brown and crispy, and the chimichurri sauce is bursting with flavor.
