Chimichurri With Mint

I love herbs and spices. I LOVE herbs and spices. If I can add flavor to a meal without adding too much fat and calories, I feel I have won a battle. I made this chimichurri last night and was quite pleased. I was even more pleased with it when I added it to my pork tacos!


Chimichurri with mint recipe as follows - 
  • 1/4 Cup of Red Wine Vinegar - Give or take depending on your love of vinegar!
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 small shallot (minced)
  • 1 jalapeno (minced) - get your goggles on for this!
  • 2 Cups fresh cilantro - finely chopped
  • 1 Cup fresh flat-leaf parsley - finely chopped
  • 1/2 Cup fresh oregano - finely chopped
  • 1/2 Cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large lime - squeezed
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint - finely chopped
  1. Combine red wine vinegar, salt, garlic, shallot, and jalapeno in a bowl and let in marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend - I used a submersion blender to get the finest texture
  3. Add to food  you love!
I added this to my pork tacos. Plus, I added roasted corn with queso fresco and it was KILLER!
