Chimichurri
Sauce
What the boss needs:
INGREDIeNTS
1 Cup Olive Oil
1/2 Cup Avocado, Almond or Coconut MCT Oil
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Medium Purple Onion
3 Tablespoons or Cloves Garlic Minced
1 Bunch or 1 Cup Cilantro
1 Tablespoon Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 Tablespoon Salt
1/2 Tablespoon Pepper
1 Tablespoon Honey
How to make it like a boss:
-
Grab a bowl and pour in 1 cup of high-quality extra virgin olive oil, and then add 1/2 cup of your choice of either avocado oil, almond oil or coconut MCT oil (make sure it's coconut MCT oil as regular coconut oil will become solid when you put it in the fridge).
-
Now add in the lemon juice. Squeeze an entire lemon or save time using a fresh-squeezed "Organic Santa Cruise Lemon Juice"-link below.
-
Next add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
-
Dice up 1 medium purple onion.
-
Thinly dice 3 cloves of garlic or use 3 tablespoons of minced organic jarred garlic.
-
The first most important ingredient in Chimichurri is cilantro, so we will use the equivalent of 1 1/2-2 cups. Chop it up very finely. You can also mix in some flat-leaf parsley for a more complex flavor and texture. I just don't like to use parsley exclusively as a substitute for cilantro, because it has a more harsh and bitter flavor.
-
Now for the second most important ingredient, red pepper flakes. Don't forget this is a spicy sauce! Add 1-2 tablespoons, depending on the level of heat you would like.
-
Now add in salt, pepper and honey for flavor.
-
Mix everything together very well with a spoon or whisk.
-
Place in the fridge, and allow all the flavors to meld together for at least 30 minutes. Letting it marinade overnight is even better!
This is the easiest most tasty way to make a sauce for your steak, fajitas or chicken breasts. It's always a favorite at my parties where I use it as a sauce for my famous flank steak! #likeaboss
