I usually just wing it with these two, but if anyone has some handy proportions I'd appreciate it. Trying to be more consistent.

Don't have time to experiment as I'm gonna make a big batch of each tonight.

I make chimichurri a lot. One bunch of parsley, four garlic cloves, a handful fresh oregano, no stems, salt, pepper, few tablespoons red wine vinegar- spin all in food processor then drizzle olive oil in to your desired consistency.

Some people add cilantro but my friends from Argentenia say it is not authentic because you can't find cilantro there. But some people even add mint.

Also, black pepper. Rub it on any good steak.

Needs a little heat. Crushed red pepper for me. I've done it with cilantro and jalapeno, but like it better with parsley and crushed red pepper.

Nope. Didn't even know that was a thing.

Only thing I've used parsley in is buttered potatoes and as a garnish.

Chimichurri definitely contains parsley.

Just Google the recipe. The first one (while not authentic because it contains cilantro) is good to follow



That's alI you've used parsley in really? Odd..

Parsley doesn't have as strong a flavor, I agree, but I don't know if you can call something chimichurri when it is just chopped cilantro with lime juice Tasty? Sure. Chimi? Not really.

That's like calling processed spinach "pesto" just because it looks the same.

Until yesterday I was under the impression that all chimi was made with cilantro.

Ah. I put a little into mine as well -- unauthentic as it may be.

Are capers not normally in it either?

I thought that was like the staple of chimi.
