Lime Chimichurri
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
2 cups
- Serves:
- 6-8
ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1⁄3 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 6 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 shallot, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt (I use lemon salt, Sal Con Limon)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper or 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
directions
- Parsley should be chopped up pretty small and should equal about 1 cup. You can chop the garlic and shallots in a little food processor if you have one but I would hand chop the parsley.
- Combine and mix all the ingredients. Reserve half of the marinade for dipping. Marinade your steak (or whatever your grilling) in the other half for as little as 1 hour but overnight is best for beef.
- Grill your steak (or whatever your grilling) and serve the reserved marinade for dipping or topping.

This is a very good combination of flavors, but a 1 hour marinade didn't impart enough flavor to the chicken's meat and the parsley lost flavor as the chicken baked. (I don't like to grill skin on chicken because it catches fire to often). When my 16yo gave me his comments he suggested putting it under the skin or injecting it into the meat. I think it would be superb that way.

Zephs Wife
Anaheim, 43
<p>I live in Anaheim Hills, CA - grew up in the next town over and have never lived anywhere else. I mostly work out of my home. My husband and I have an electrical sign business and I do the office work along with being crane operator about once or twice a week. I also drive one of the big trucks as needed. Prior to working with my husband (for the past 10 years, I was an executive secretary for 20 years so this has been a big change from corporate offices to construction fields, I love it. For fun, we go to Vegas about once a month and I also enjoy gambling at the local Indian casinos although my husband does not. I'm not a great cook but I do enjoy being creative in the kitchen...good thing my husband will try anything I make. I rarely follow a recipe exactly usually combining two or more recipes and trying to create my own. Rarely does it come out better than the original authors but I have fun. I enjoy collecting cookbooks and reading recipes. I have won two cookoffs, one for chili and one for smoked ribs. My husband is my taste tester telling me what it needs more of as I cook - thats how we won the chili cookoff. I credit him with that one! I don't have any children, have been married 30 years this year. I love animals and my beloved sheltie mix dog died at age 14 back in 2000 and I just haven't found another dog yet. My family and friends have me babysit their dogs which I really enjoy. My passions are probably the Anaheim Angels baseball and I like the Chargers football. Don't really care for basketball but do enjoy a good hockey game. We enjoy riding (on the back only, thank you our Harley that my husband has had since he bought it brand new back in 1977. I'll have to think about what my pet peeves are, I'll come back to you on that one. UPDATE: Ok, I've decided my pet peeve is having a recipe reviewed when the person didn't even make it as written, changes the ingredients and then gives it a poor review. Thats just not right. <br /><br /><img alt= src=/<a href= /> <br />http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg> <br />src=<a href=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg>>http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg></a></p>
