Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 Tbsp dried parsley
1 Tbsp onion flakes, dehydrated
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dehydrated minced garlic
1 tsp red chili flakes
1 tsp basil
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground bay leaf or flaked bay leaf
1 tsp kosher salt

Steps:

1. Mix ingredients together. For a finer consistency, use a spice grinder or food processor.
2. Add more salt to create a chimichurri seasoning salt. Prior to roasting or grilling, rub into meats. Use with vegetables, or sprinkle on pizza before cooking.
3. Or make Chimichurri Sauce: Use 2:1:1 ratio of olive oil, vinegar, and water with the mix recipe: at first, add 2 Tbsp. of water and 2 Tbsp. of vinegar and let sit for about 15 minutes. Then add 4 Tbsp. olive oil. Play with liquid amounts until you have your perfect marinade or rub.

Tips:

Make sure to use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
You can adjust the heat of the rub by adding more or less chili powder. If you're not sure how much to add, start with a small amount and add more to taste.
The rub can be used on any type of meat, but it's especially good on beef, pork, and chicken.
Be sure to let the meat marinate in the rub for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
The rub can also be used as a dry rub for vegetables. Simply sprinkle the rub on the vegetables and toss to coat.

Conclusion:

Dry chimichurri rub is a versatile and flavorful spice blend that can be used on a variety of meats and vegetables. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
