Chimichurri Recipe of Awesomeness® – Rising to the challenge

June 28, 2011 By Marta Darby 8 Comments

I'm pleased to tell you that I've been included to take part in a series of Cooking Challenges by Holland House® and Mizkan® along with several other Latina bloggers.

The first challenge was to use one of many Holland House products to create A Latino 4th of July on the Grill. To be honest, Eric is the Grill-meister around here. I am just Hero Support. What to do?

Eric: “I'll grill the steak and you should make that awesome Cuban chimichurri sauce of yours.”

Me: “Are you referring to my Chimichurri Dipping Sauce of Awesomeness®?”

So I began with the Holland House White Wine Vinegar…..

White wine vinegar

and the rest…..is Awesomeness. 😉

  

So, for your 4th of July Grilling pleasure – Cuban style….

Chimichurri Dipping Sauce Recipe of Awesomeness®

  • 1 bunch of cilantro leaves (or Italian Parsley)
  • 8 cloves of garlic (peeled)
  • 1/4 cup Holland House White Wine Vinegar
  • Juice of one lime
  • 1/2 cup white onion
  • 1/4 cup roasted red pepper strips
  • 3 Tbsp. oregano
  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  1. Put all ingredients EXCEPT the olive oil in blender or food processor and pulse to a thick mixture. (Do not over-process!)
  2. Remove from processor and whisk in olive oil – very important!
  3. Add salt and pepper liberally.
  4. Serve over fresh grilled steak or use as a dipping sauce for bread.

WARNING: Chimichurri Dipping Sauce of Awesomeness® is highly addicting. Don't say I didn't warn you. =D

Disclosure: This post is part of a sponsored series to promote Mizkan cooking wines, vinegars and marinades. I also received samples of Mizkan’s Holland House, Nakano and World Harbor brand products and promotional material from Mizkan to assist in preparing the posts. All opinions and recipes in this series are my very own.
