Chimichurri

By

Many chimichurri recipes call for a large volume of red wine vinegar, making the sauce too acidic. After spending an afternoon reading every chimichurri recipe I could find online, I ended up selecting these ingredients. The smoky Spanish paprika helps bring out the other flavors in the sauce and the lemon juice provides just enough needed acidity. I recently served this sauce with steak and sauteed bell peppers on top of bruschetta as part of a tapas themed evening.
