First of all everyone saying no cilantro doesn't work for BA for the very reason that they don't know what those who do know.. authentic Argentina chimichurri doesn't have cilantro... So maybe move along instead of questioning the real pros!!!

Yet, most Argentines would argue that the best chimichurri can only be found in Argentina, particularly at an asado. From Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego to Iguazu Falls, locals gather to celebrate friendship and food on a Sunday afternoon, stoking the fire, uncorking bottles of Malbec and spreading on generous spoonfuls of the beloved condiment. The sauce has a chunky, rustic texture. Don’t expect it to be fully pureed and smooth (like some versions of this sauce). The traditional rustic method is hand-chopped. How you like it will depend on your palate. Elvio’s chimichurri, as sold by Ailin and her father, is slightly spicier than the traditional Argentinian one, since Elvio spent so many years in Los Angeles, where spice is king. The choice in this department is yours. Make-your-own chimichurri, family style Add remaining ingredients: oil, vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes then stir to combine.Although it is filled with healthy ingredients like parsley and garlic, the base is olive oil. All oil, no matter the source, is crazy high in energy (translation- high in calories), so it’s best to enjoy in moderation. Green chimichurri is typically not considered very spicy. To make it spicy, add a hot red chili, red chili flakes, or a dash of cayenne powder. If you’re sensitive to spicy foods, simply leave them out. And since this condiment lasts so long in the fridge, you can make a big batch and use it whenever you need a little boost of flavor in your recipes. While I love using my food processor, this is one case when a good ol' sharp knife is best. A food processor will purée some of the ingredients while leaving some in big chunks. We do not want a pureé. The texture is essential in this sauce, and getting the ingredients minced in a uniform size. Chimichurri is a classic condiment from South America, served with grilled meats. I like to think of it as South American pesto. It has spread to all parts of the globe, thanks to Argentinean steakhouses, known as Churrasquerías.

Chimichurri Ingredients Many non-authentic versions of this condiment can also be found. Versions which include fresh cilantro…and cumin…and lime juice. Most likely very delicious, they are not considered authentic. Chimichurri Ingredients This chimichurri recipe takes inspiration from Argentine chef Francis Mallman himself (who you may remember from the documentary Chef’s Table). His classic method uses a salmuera or brine to bring flavor and body to the sauce. It may sound counterintuitive to add water to oil, but it makes a lovely silky body. This sauce is rustic and hand chopped: no blenders or food processors required! Here’s what you’ll need for this chimichurri recipe: VINEGAR – Red wine vinegar is what it is traditionally used, but you can use white wine or apple cider vinegar if that’s what you have on hand!One of them says that when the British failed to invade the Spanish colonies in Rio de la Plata in the beginning of the 19th century and were taken prisoners, they would request condiments with their food by saying “ Tche! mi curry“. It’s no secret that we love a green sauce and this Argentine chimichurri recipe is no exception. Fresh oregano, parsley, and cilantro come together with a heavy pour of red wine vinegar for a punchy condiment that’s as good spooned over a grilled steak as it is drizzled on a bowl of lentils (it’s also an excellent marinade). To Serve – The oil can solidify in the refrigerator. If that happens, bring chimichurri to room temperature before serving. I prepare my chimichurri sauce in a food processor, typically because I am preparing a double batch (it is really that good). However, the authentic way is by hand. You can use either and I have included directions for both methods. Step 1- Prep the Herbs Step 2: Drizzle in the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. Stir to combine the mixture. Set aside until ready to serve! Making Chimichurri in the Food Processor vs. Hand Chopping the Herbs

My brief research on that subject led me nowhere. You can find the sauce in both cuisines, but it’s impossible to know who came up with it first!Store chimichurri in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should keep well for about 5 days refrigerated. Can I Freeze It? To make it in a food processor or blender, add the garlic and shallots first and pulse until they are chopped then add the parsley. After pulsing a few more times, add the remaining ingredients and process until a sauce forms. You can watch us do this in our video for chimichurri cauliflower steaks.
