chimichurri


the Argentine people put this on steak. but grilled some pizza last night, and we used chimichurri instead of red pizza sauce. pretty nice. ok, blend all this in a processor. or, if you're feeling up to it, make it all by hand by mincing it all, or even grinding it with a mortar. make extra and save the extra for spreads on sandwiches, etc.
