CHIMICHURRI (ARGENTINEAN GARLIC SAUCE)



Chimichurri (Argentinean Garlic Sauce) image

In Argentina, chimichurri is served with parrillada - a mixed grill of steak, chops, and sausages. Follow the Argentines' lead and serve this herb sauce spooned over just about any cut of grilled red meat. Chimichurri can also be paired with a sautéed chicken breast or a potato salad in need of some zip.

Provided by Steven Raichlen

Yield Yields about 2 cups.

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cloves garlic
1 tsp. kosher salt; more as needed
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, stemmed and chopped (about 1-1/2 cups, lightly packed)
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 small carrot, finely grated
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. dried red chile flakes
1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest
5 Tbs. white-wine vinegar or distilled white vinegar; more to taste
5 Tbs. cold water; more as needed
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Finely chop the garlic on a cutting board. Sprinkle the salt over it and repeatedly scrape the flat side of the knife over the garlic to mash it to a paste. Scrape the garlic paste into a medium bowl. Add the parsley, oregano, carrot, pepper, chile flakes, and lemon zest and mix. Add the vinegar and water and mix again. Whisk in the oil. Taste and correct the seasonings, adding salt, vinegar, water, or chile flakes: the sauce should be highly seasoned. Chimichurri is delicious over any kind of grilled red meat.

ARGENTINEAN-STYLE RIBS WITH HOMEMADE CHIMICHURRI



Argentinean-Style Ribs with Homemade Chimichurri image

Argentinean preparation is simple but is all about the cooking technique. These ribs cook better on a rotisserie as they self-baste for maximum flavor and juiciness. If you're going to cook this recipe on a grill, add some charcoal or hardwood to add more flavor to the ribs. If you do not have a rotisserie set-up, you can simply cook these directly on the grill. Allow the chimichurri to rest at least 2 hours before serving - this will allow time for the flavors to marry together. The chimichurri is a delicious spread that adds a zest to any Argentinian style dish, and this makes a great topping for the slow roasted ribs. This can also be a great topping for grilled chicken breast, lamb or fish.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
2 tablespoons chopped basil
2 tablespoons chopped oregano
1/4 cup chopped white onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon lime zest
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 pounds baby back pork ribs
6 tablespoons kosher salt
6 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • For the chimichurri: Add the parsley, basil, oregano, onion, garlic, bell pepper, lime zest, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper to a food processor. Pulse together till your desired texture is reached. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • For the ribs: Set up a grill with charcoal. Once the coals are white-hot, place some smoked hardwood on top of the coals to create some smoke.
  • Sprinkle the ribs liberally with the salt and pepper on both sides. If using a rotisserie, thread the ribs on spit/skewers so they are stacked up and threaded neatly.
  • Once the fire has settled, place the ribs over the fire and turn on the rotisserie. Cook for 1 to 2 hours until desired doneness and the ribs have an internal temp of 190 degrees F. Serve immediately off the rotisserie with the chimichurri sauce.

ARGENTINEAN BURGERS WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE



Argentinean Burgers With Chimichurri Sauce image

I made these today after watching Michael Smith make them on Chef at Home. My mouth was watering while watching him grill the burgers, so I just had to try them. I luckily had everything on hand and they took no time at all. They're really, really good! I made 8 really big burgers on my barbecue, but the recipe states you can make 12 regular sized burgers if you prefer.

Categories     Meat

Time 45m

Yield 8-12 large or regular, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 large onion, peeled and chopped
8 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
2 -4 jalapenos, minced
2 tablespoons ground cumin
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 lbs ground beef
salt and pepper
1/2 avocado, sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced
1/2 tomatoes, sliced
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 small onion, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, minced
1 teaspoon chili flakes
salt

Steps:

  • Argentinean Burgers:.
  • Preheat your grill to its highest setting.
  • Sauté the onion, garlic, jalapeno and cumin in the vegetable oil until the vegetables soften. Cool slightly. Toss the beef into a mixing bowl along with the cooled onion mixture. Season well with salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Form into 8-12 hamburger patties.
  • Grill until cooked to your favourite doneness.
  • Serve on hamburger buns with Chimichurri sauce, avocado slices, red onion slices and tomatoes.
  • For best results form a divot in the center of each burger before cooking, this helps them cook evenly. Also never press on a burger while it cooks, you'll get some flame and smoke but only at the expense of losing juice that belongs in the burger.
  • Chimichurri Sauce:.
  • Whisk everything together.
  • You may serve immediately but this condiment is at its best after a day or two of refrigeration.
