- INGREDIENTS:
- 3-4 small cloves of garlic
- 1 TBSP fresh mint
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup fresh dill
- 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley
- 1 TBSP fresh oregano
- 1/2 TBSP lemon zest
- 1 TBSP fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Place garlic cloves in the mortar, add 1/2 tsp of salt, sugar and using a pestle crush the garlic well. Salt will help turn the garlic into a nice mush, sugar will give your chimichurri a nice, sweet touch.
Remove the stalks from all the herbs you will be using and roughly chop them up before incorporating all of them into the mortar.
Top the herbs with the remaining of 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 TBSP lemon zest, lemon juice and 3/4 cup olive oil. Give everything in the mortar a nice blend with the pestle, grinding the herbs together.
As a result, you will have a beautiful concoction of herbs, which will go amazingly well with your favorite steak. Like I mentioned above, if you give chimichurri a little time to let the herbs fuse together, you will have a masterpiece at your fingertips.
