Chimichurri
"This recipe is an adoptee from the RecipeZaar account, and I haven't tried it yet. I will repost here when I have tried the recipe. I have to admit, I'm a little wary of using ground bay leaves (I'd always heard that they aren't digestible)...does anyone know if that's true?"

I made this as a Please Review request. I have never made (or even heard of) this b4 so I made a half batch, which filled a 1/2 Qt canning jar. I usu. never use jalapenos, but decided to try it this time. I used 1 big one and 1 small one. I used No Salt, 1/4 tsp bay leaf powder and the rest as stated. Easy to make. I wanted to try it on a flat bread recipe the chef gave me, but it's too overcast today, so I took a tortilla, spread it with refried black beans, sprinkled with parmesan cheese and grilled in the oven for a few minutes. Then I drizzled some chimichurri over it and apprehensively took a bite. It wasn't too hot at all and it tastes delicious! Thanks Aunt Cookie. I will save this and try it on chicken and who knows what else. -
The correct spelling is Chimichurri.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I wandered onto Recipezaar less than a year ago, looking for a lentil soup recipe. I'm pretty sure I haven't left the computer since then...I've been completely sucked in by this site! Of course, I do take the occasional break to actually cook the recipes I find.
When I'm not at my computer or in the kitchen, I'm working toward my PhD in clinical psychology from Kent State. I also work as a therapist at the campus clinic, teach a class (Social Psychology this semester), and work as a research assistant. I'm a little bit busy. I do usually find time every day to cook something for myself with the help of this site, and to exercise (to counteract the effects of the great recipes I find here).
I don't have much time in my life for hobbies at the moment (sigh), but I seem to recall that I used to like reading, going to see musical performances, and watching movies. I still do my best to travel as much as possible. My sister, Kate, my boyfriend, Jake, and my friend, Kris, are my favorite travel partners. Kate and I go on an "eatacation" every year.
