I think I spent a full minute scrolling down past walls of text and closing ads. Mostly closing ads. Is there a recipe at this link?

Toss olive oil, red wine vinegar, flat leaf parsley, cilantro, jalapeno, and garlic in a blender. Salt and pepper to taste (Vinegar: Oil ratio is about the same for all the recipes I found online, I just took the ingredients I liked from the higher rated ones and made it my own)

There is one I get from HEB that has been great called Gaucho Ranch. I've used it in multiple things and it is always great, just might need more salt. I've got a fantastic beef recipe I use for it if you're interested.

    Cilantro in chimichurri? That is like parsley in pico de gallo no? Don't think I have ever seen or tasted it made like that.

    I like this one from Bon Appetit, it might not be totally traditional but there are a couple things that make me like it even better. I like the higher acid/oil ratio in this one, I also am a cilantro fan and this one uses more cilantro than parsley.

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 3-4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced or minced
    • 1 shallot, finely chopped
    • 1 Fresno chile or red jalapeo, finely chopped
    • 1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
    • 1/4 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
    • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano
    • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

    Add a bit of cumin and a seeded jalapeo for a bit more heat and you pretty much nailed my recipe.

    We bought a bottle of this and threw it out after using it once.

    There was s no such thing as good Pesto in a jar or good Chimichuri in a jar.

    I haven't tried adding the cumin, but, definitely add the jalapeno and a splash of red wine vinegar to mine

    yes, you can put it in there. but, you're not going to find it in most traditional recipes.

    Completely agree, I have been a Chimichurri fan for a long, long time. When I was a kid our neighbors were from Argentina and I started eating that stuff when I was like 5 and I never heard of cilantro going into it, and this was in Mexico mind where the SOB's put cilantro in just about anything.

    I have never made it, but have watched it being made. I know that one of the varieties that I like the most uses either hot water or hot vinegar, not boiling but hot, in the mix at a certain time. Supposedly that is important. I also remember hearing that the Parsley is more flavorful when used at a certain stage.

    True ripe cilantro has a strong flavor and it is not one that I would want in my Chimichurri.

    I used one similar to that thought it was a touch heavy on the red wine vinegar. cutting back next time.

    I do very similar as well. Never added cumin or oregano but that sounds good. I also do the parsely cilantro mix, cut back on red wine vinegar, and normally double the garlic. I love it on scrambled eggs the next morning.

    I know we link this site a lot, but here is a basic chimichurri sauce from Serious Eats.

    You are all wrong. You should be making a Board sauce instead.

    Personally I like chimichurri better when it's not blended. I think blending it drastically alters it. While still good I like the more "rustic" version. It's basically the board sauce mentioned above but without all the hipster nonsense

    Strongly agree. Also fresh Oregano is an important part of really good chimichurri IMO, as is strong garlic.

    I went with the serious eats recipe and added a little cilantro, since it makes everything better. I was pretty pleased with the way it came out.

    That's the best one IMO. We throw it on top of charred skirt steak every so often and it's delicious.

    Whole Foods has a Chimi dried herb mix jar in the spice isle. Just add oil & vinegar. Not the best, but very convenient.
