Molho Chimichurri Sauce

Primeira vez que provei foi num resto de carnes em NYC, colocado sobre uma fraldinha deliciosa. Aí, fiquei encantada e querendo saber como se faz.

E hoje no Tweeter, recebi o link do Blog da Chef Cris Leite que ensina como fazer/

Então, clique aqui e saboreie.

The first time I tasted this sauce was in a steakhouse in NYC, with a delicious flank. Then, I was delighted and wondering how to make it.

And today at Tweeter, I received a link to the Blog of Chef Cris Leite that teaches how to make it.

So...here is just translation:

Tips for a good Chimichurri Sauce:

Do not use olive oil to make the sauce. A neutral oil such as sunflower are best suited for not interfering with the flavor of the herbs.

If the sauce will be consumed in a day or two, you can incorporate fresh ingredients in the recipe; otherwise, you must use dried ingredients.

Use good quality vinegar (always wine, not apple). Replacing a part of the wine vinegar for balsamic vinegar, gives a stronger flavor.

To make the finest chimichurri sauce, add chopped sun dried tomatoes.

Herbs such as coriander and basil are not traditional, but appear in some recipes. Because they are herbs with strong flavor, use a small amount.
