Argentina Chimichurri Recipe

September 16, 2015 by Patrick Leave a Comment

Argentine ChimichurriChimichurri is delicious! It is traditionally served with steak and is an important part of the Argentine parilla, but it goes well with chicken and fish too. Chimichurri also works well as a marinade, and is delicious on vegetables or simply as a dip for pieces of bread.

This is a smaller recipe, yielding about 1 cup or so. There are also different variations. It is very simple to make.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh flat leaf parsley, firmly packed
  • 1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves (optional) or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 3-6 cloves of garlic (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
  • 1/2-3/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (or to taste)
  • Kosher salt and red pepper flakes to taste

Preparation

  1. Pulse the garlic and onion in the food processor and pulse just until until finely chopped.
  2. Add the parsley, oregano, and cilantro (if using) and pulse briefly, just until the herbs are finely chopped.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a separate bowl. Add the olive oil, lime juice, and vinegar, and stir. (Adding the liquids outside of the blender gives the chimichurri the correct texture. You don’t want the herbs to be completely puréed, just finely chopped).
  4. Season with salt and red pepper flakes to taste.
  5. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

About Argentina: What are Alfajores?

August 27, 2015 by Patrick Leave a Comment

AlfajoresArgentina is culinarily unique in many different ways. We have great beef and empanadas. Something else we are known for are “alfajores” (pronounced like “alpha-hoor-ace”, the singular version is with out the “ace” sound) are delicious little cookies (pictured to the right). They are made with two round cookies with dulce de leche (similar to caramel) fillings between them. Argentina is today the world largest consumer of alfajores, both in total numbers and in per capital calculations, being the most common snack for children and adults.

Alfajores are different in the different provinces of Argentina. For instance, in the Santa Fe province, they cover their alfajores in glazed sugar (they call them “Santafesinos”). Other provinces cover them in coconut, chocolate, or coco while others don’t cover them with anything.

It is a delicious cookie, and is a real part of Argentina!
