Argentinean Chimichurri Sauce- a flavorful South American condiment (or marinade) made with cilantro to spice up steak, tacos, shrimp, chicken, or vegetables!

Chimichurri Sauce Recipe 

red onion

garlic

fresh chilis, diced (jalapeno, red chilies,

Cilantro, tiny stems OK

Parsley, thin stems OK

oregano

lime juice (1-2 limes) lime

cup olive oil, add

tsp kosher salt

pepper

½ tsp smoked paprika– (optional –only if you like smokey flavor)

½ teaspoon chili flakes, more or to taste

Finely mince everything and place it in a medium bowl along with remaining ingredients. (Or, alternatively, use a food processor: Place onion, garlic, and fresh chili if using, and pulse several times until very finely chopped. Add cilantro ( tender stems are fine) Italian parsley, and oregano, pulse again until chopped. Add olive oil, lime juice,  smoked paprika (optional), salt and pepper. Pulse a few more times, until well combined (but not too smooth). If the mixture seems thick add a little more oil to loosen it up.)

Taste, adjust salt, lime and heat ( add more chilies or chili flakes)  to your liking. If it tastes bitter, check your olive oil.

Sprinkle with chili flakes and few cilantro leaves.

This will keep up to 4 days in the fridge, or freeze.

This is the BEST Chimichurri Sauce Recipe I've ever made! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!

i'll be making this for a banh mi of sardines in olive oil, so will use the sardine oil in the chimichurri sauce.  no oregano in this sandwich, but i'm definitely using the lime zest + juice, grated garlic, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.  instead of adding onion and chili flakes to the sauce, i'll be pickling red onion and jalapeno slices along with carrot and radish matchsticks.  i'll build the sandwich on a lightly toasted baguette spread with Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise, then the mashed sardines, the pickled veggies, the chimichurri sauce, thin-sliced cucumbers, then the top of the baguette also spread with a bit of Kewpie mayo.

This is our FAVORITE chimichurri recipe! Always turns out!

We use this all the time and thought I'd finally rate it. Thank you.

How long can this sauce be stored in the fridge or freezer?

Made this the other night and it was so flavorful! Love this version.

This was so flavourful and amazing. Will definitely make it again!

Love this version of this sauce because it is a bit  different and for me  elevated from the same old same old.
The lime really pops  And I added a few chopped toasted pine nuts.

My husband raved about this! Super fresh and delicious. We tried it over grilled flank steak. A real hit in our house, thank you for sharing your recipe with us!

Best Chimichurri recipe I've made.  I added a whole jalapeno to the food processor which added the perfect amount of spice.  Thank you!

We have made many of your recipes and have loved them all but the chimichurri cauliflower bowls with this sauce is probably our favorite. Thank you! We love the sauce so much that we have started to double it and use it on our morning eggs all week. The doubled-recipe does not exactly double each ingredient -- is this intentional? The 1 cup of parsley stays 1 cup and the 2TB oregano stays 2TB. Also the lime zest does not appear in the doubled recipe. Perhaps these are typos but maybe they are adjustments to keep things balanced. Thanks for letting me know! And thanks again for your wonderful site.

This was amazing! I wanted to drink it straight! I served this with chicken meatballs and was perfect. I used red wine vinegar, only 1/4 teaspoon of paprika, and white onion instead of red. Loved it!

Just 9 easy ingredients and 15 minutes to make. So easy and totally delicious. Perfect for snacking, serving on a vegan cheese board, or adding to sandwiches.

Vegan Sharp Cheddar Cheese

raw cashews, (softened (see step 1))

refined coconut oil

nutritional yeast

lemon juice

apple cider vinegar

white miso paste

sweet paprika, ((use smoked paprika

garlic powder

turmeric

Softening the cashews makes them tender enough to blend smoothly. To soften them you can either boil or soak the cashews. To boil the cashews: add the cashews to a small pot, cover with water, and boil for about 10 minutes until the cashews are very tender. Drain and rinse before using. To soak the cashews: add the cashews to a bowl, and cover with water. Let soak for 4 hours or longer until tender. Drain and rinse before using. 

Add the softened cashews, along with all the remaining ingredients to a small food processor*. Blend, stopping and scraping the sides as needed, until the cheese is as smooth as possible.

Scoop the cheese mixture into a dish lined with plastic wrap, or into a small silicon baking dish, and smooth out the cheese. Cover and then chill in the fridge until completely firm, about 3 hours or overnight. Enjoy the cheese as you please! The cheese will be come softer the more it warms up, so for extra-firm cheese you could freeze it.
