By á-25087

This Cilantro Chimichurri is a delicious marinade for all sorts of fish and shellfish. It's especially good with salmon and shrimp.

Ingredients

• 4 cups (about 4 bunches) packed cilantro, washed and dried
• 6 medium-sized garlic cloves, peeled, with roots and stems removed
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1-1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Remove any thick stems from the cilantro, and add it to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Blend until it's very finely chopped.

Add the garlic and blend until it's in such tiny pieces that you can't even see it.

Pour in the vinegar, along with the lemon juice, cumin, paprika, crushed red pepper and salt.

Blend just to combine the ingredients, and then gradually pour in the oil and blend until smooth.
