Food Wishes Recipes - Chimichurri Sauce Recipe - How to Make Chimichurri

[jm3658]

good

[kebubas]

salmn is good on it's own, adding sauce makes it DIVINE... too bad salmon is overpriced here -.-

[norina195]

This is very similar to pesto...did Chef John ever made an actual pesto video?

[Thegreatale2]

I make mine completely different than anyone I've seen make it.

[Thegreatale2]

@yanizgrr I agree.... I personally don't make it like this...

[yanizgrr]

I´m Argentinian, and That is not the way you should make the chimichurry, I think personally this is other version...

[usairman8806]

Cuban chimichurri sauce uses cilantro instead of parsley and I would keep the olive oil out until everything is chopped. Then add the oil and whisk it in. That way you wont get this creamy sauce. up to you...]

[andrewfyip]

@usairman8806 awesome, I love cilantro and unless I'm cooking, I don't really like raw parsley. Thanks for that little tip!

[mulderlover2004]

I went to the site via link above,but CAN NOT find ingredients list for Chimmi. PLEASE HELP!!!

[dlevy16]

so what if he added cumin and cilantro, for a purist version google it

[princessaeoifa]

Lucky Michelle :)

[papitosabe]

cilantro??? wow... i guess its some new form of a mexican chimichurri

[ruviecita]

Chimichurri does not have cilantro!!

[freakyflow]

Not really how its done or how it looks like afterwards.. Its not really a paste its more liquid then that Most true Argentinian's use lemon to bring out the flavor of the recipe and what its on fish chicken and even beef .. heck i put this on fresh baked bread

[bandidusky56]

In Uruguay though we think it is ours ;-)). One thing is for sure no Uruguayan or Argentinean that I know has ever used cumin or coriander. Argentineans use a lot more Chlli in their sauces and this is about the main difference in our Chimichurris. However Chileans love coriander and cumin in all their foods. In fact they a sauce called pebre that actually uses these two ingredients. Coriander - Yuck yuckty yuck, it tastes like a soap I grew up with, it was called LUX - basically bathroom soap.

[filmerror]

awesome

[Chickenedful]

yeah its the parsley not the 2 tons of garlic that make it unsuitable for a first date XD

[growingneeds]

When you said "Not the best first date sauce", I honestly thought you meant it's resemblance to baby poo. =) Thanks Chef John for the lovely recipe.

[MrWeirdGuy]

I'm usually hesitant about any kind of green sauce, but this looks pretty good.

[RuleNr34]

Chim chiminey, Chim chiminey, Chimichurri, a sweep is as lucky as lucky can be...

[nikolassassi]

I'm argentine. The chimichurri hasn't got coriander in any of its versions.

[GaySingleMulatto]

If you pour the oil in last, it'll lubricate the herbs, which will in turn be brought into the blade, with virtually no need for the spatula. Nothing against spatula's. It's great on eggs.

[penguincontact]

Finally found a chimichurri recipe without red pepper that is good. Thanks a lot. Plus good choice in music and comic relief.

[Tashcarpediem007]

again another american bastardised version of the real deal. WHy dont you call it American Chimichurri but this is definatley not the chimichurri you get in South america!!

[JoyeuseXI]

@Tashcarpediem007 Who cares? It's just food. If it tastes good, who gives a shit what it's called.

[Tashcarpediem007]

@JoyeuseXI : who cares your just a person from some non descript part of the world, who cares what your called right? I get sick and tired of Americans supersizing, bastardising and vandalising cuisine and trying to pass it off for the original. Its typical in American culture food is just something that is just food, to be eaten when your sitting in your car and got from a drive through --- no respect!!!

[JoyeuseXI]

@Tashcarpediem007 I was referring to food, darlin', not your goddamned country. It happens all over the world, not just in America. Oh, you forgot to mention that, didn't you. You just decided to come on the internet and complain with assumption after assumption after assumption. Are you really so desperate for an argument that you're going to bitch about a different recipe for a condiment? Really? That's pathetic.

[Tashcarpediem007]

it just so happens that it is the worst in the USA

[JoyeuseXI]

@Tashcarpediem007 Kay? My point still stands, whether or not you assume it's the worst in the USA, makes no difference. You could have simply said, this is not the Chimichurri I know *insert instructions here*. Like the person that commented below you. Instead of pulling some ignorant shit out of your ass, and insulting people.

[Tashcarpediem007]

@JoyeuseXI Clearly your mother never washed that potty mouth of yours with soap when you were a kid, and never taught you manners. Part of being in a free country is having the right to express ones views, perhaps you dont agree with them, fine! no skin of my nose and my opinions havent changed, the only thing that has changed is my opinion of you as a foul mouthed angry little aussie hahaha why dont you stuff a sausage roll in that potty mouth of yours.

[JoyeuseXI]

@Tashcarpediem007 Oh please, don't bring up my language. I have manners, and I can speak properly, I chose not to though because you decided that you were going to be as rude as you were. I understand that part of being free is expressing ones views, but if you're going to express your views, initially, you should be polite about it. You, on the other hand, were not. Heretofore, I decided that I should handle it in a way I see fit.

[Tashcarpediem007]

@JoyeuseXI Yes I can see that - an uncouth potty mouthed prisoner of her majesty lol

[AquarianTigerProdCo]

Also, real Argentine chimichurri uses parsley chopped with a knife, not in a blender, keeping it's original dark green color. The mixture blended in this recipe turned a lighter green, more like PESTO. Please consult with a few Argentine chefs about this.

[jessi330]

@AquarianTigerProdCo I was going to say this isn't like the chimichurri I experienced in Argentina! I wondered what was different. Also, there is a red kind too.

[AquarianTigerProdCo]

Interesting recipe, sounds good. But with all due respect, I am from Argentina, and while there are several variations of chimichurri, the classic original recipe uses parsley and does NOT include cilantro and cumin. It's like saying a Chicago hot dog has ketchup. Only recently have some cooks and a few chefs started incorporating these ingredients. Those ingredients completely change the character of the of the sauce. To say otherwise is to not know the history of Argentine cuisine. Salud!

[delixander]

this is not authenthic chimichurri.....this is his version of chimichurri!! The cilantro and cumin change the taste completely!!!!!! It looks good but, let's call it something else... Love your videos!!!

[reikiano]

this is not chimichurri

[91180tincho]

Chef John , Con todo respeto , pero esa salsa no se mete en la licuadora , no es como el pesto , Deberian informarse mejor de donde probiene la salsa y como realmente se hase ,

[bobobobobob93]

i bet ur children are or will be fantaboulous cooks

[mishy26m]

@stellaga LOL I total agree.

[jstsistemas]

@romero271991: Of course, you can prepare chimichurri the way you like. And I agree there can exist a lot of variations to any recipe. But, in this case, cilantro and cumin change the taste completely. That's why I think this "sauce" should be called something else. The original recipe of chimichurri does not include cilantro or cumin, that's all.

[jstsistemas]

@romero271991: Are you really telling me that in cordoba you make chimichurri with cilantro an cumin (comino) ?? That's odd, I've been in córdoba and chimichurri didn't have neither cilantro nor cumin.

[dab0ttom3itch]

ohhhh how i miss eating this sauce over skirt steak.. O.O

[ZombieFrank]

My Argentinian taste buds are going wild! But I definitely love a warm oven cooked empenada right now. Yes, our empenadas are superior, do not even try to give me a fried one...;)

[PurpleGhost]

Mmm ... That sounds like an excellent sauce, I'll have to give that one a try. *Grins*

[bono0104]

I love chef John, but that is not chimichurri, cilantro in chimichurri is out.

[PurpleGhost]

@bono0104 - Please consider that every recipe has variations, and that a small variation such as the addition of an extra green to a green sauce, does not necessarily merit a name change.

Recipes vary from country to country, if it's not the way you do it, so what?

Someone may have been doing it that way, calling it the same name as you do their whole lives; their parents, grand parents, and ancestors too.

It doesn't invalidate them that it is done differently elsewhere in the world.

[bono0104]

@PurpleGhost I'm from Argentina, place where the chimichurri has been created, you can make any variations to the recipe, but if you add cilantro you can call it chimichurri, but you can call it anything else. Ask any Argentinean

[fitcoach2007]

Looks great John. I am Latin and make chimichurri allot.

[jstsistemas]

That's not chimichurri. At least that's not the original recipe, and it's certainly not the way we do it in argentina

[romero271991]

@jstsistemas Besides the blending...that's how we do it in cordoba...Don't speak for every argentinean..cause you're statement doesn't represent me..

[romero271991]

@jstsistemas besides the cilantro and the blending, that's how we do it in Codoba..

[jstsistemas]

@romero271991 In your last post you say "besides the blending"... now you say "besides the cilantro and the blending"... I think you're realizing that in some point that's not the original recipe...

[xxxdids]

brush this on a leg of lamb [ get the butcher to debone and butterfly]and BBQ it slow for 2 hours with the hood down,and then 10 minutes before cutting up squeeze 2 lemons on it,enjoy.

[bmw335i88]

[bubbles02010]

chim chimini chim chimini chimchim churu....

[philbx1]

Nice! Also good how your fine assistant Michelle has learnt the technique of "pulse on, pulse off".  Now, I'm hoping Michelle doesn't have to polish the car as well!

[perdantasterx]

chimichurri sauce is good! :) i've only made it once, but i liked it...though the recipe i went off of was a "diet" one...i'll have to try your version :P

[brigandtea]

perhaps starting in a food provessor would speed up the chimi making process...

[tomber220]

that sounds like a great souce

and that samon looks so good

[Puppetopia]

Fresh cilantro oregano? Is that some kind of new hybrid herb?

[stellaga]

I love this guy he can make everything, and it is so clearly explained...thank you John from foodwishes..you are a rock n roll chel

[sociallooter]

you a cunt...true story@stellaga

[stellaga]

@sociallooter why am i a cunt?



[foolsbetrippin]

wild pacific salmon, is the bombbbbb

[foolsbetrippin]

this video covers everything. i love foodwishes.

[nikoguy]

made this last night. Came out amazing.

[Karime18]

OMG chimichurri with steak, it's just beyond this world! so good!

[Kaollasan]

That looks so delicious! Love the variety of usage.

[Gaels68]

haha "ketchup of course"

[ikbinhans]

Why is a chef of your caliber not using a BLENDTEC or VITAMIX? You'd have been able to puree that so much faster! Seriously...

But Great Video!! :)

[Statesman02]

I agree, great video, but @ikbinhans: I'm guessing you work for these companies and are trying to push product? A $200 blender isn't all that practical for a persons home, and most people watching this video aren't going to have one.

[ikbinhans]

@Statesman02 nope I don't sell them, just a big fan of them. I know most people won't have them, I just thought someone like him would have gotten one by now. But whatever.

[Angell168]

Pesto recipe pleeZ?

[emmanuelarcuri]

YOU are the MAN haha, i'm from argentina and i love everything with garlic on it haha . chimichurri is just one of the best sauces ever, we use it, in the traditional argentian "asados" for the meat and the "choripanes", you should check too the "salsa criolla" recipe, it's another great option, we argentinias use it A LOT, love your food, just INCREDIBLE haha, good luck chef john .

[krimzonvillain]

I hate pesto, but i would kill a man for some chimmichurri.

[romero271991]

My ancestors are italian but I was born in Argentina and my mom makes it just like this but except instead of blending she just finely chops all the herbs! Great Job, Chef john! I totally love your stuff!

[alogli]

i'd also love a pesto video!

[stooge81]

all things considered, chimichurri's probably a better first-date food choice than say...bean pies, chili or a broccoli dish. just sayin' ;^)

[1kperday]

@stooge: best first date food:

Brocolli and navy bean quiche with roasted garlic and Limburger sauce, FTW!

[iamafractal]

why not use a food processor?

[KokoTalula]

PESTO PESTO PESTO PESTO!!!!!! can you make a video on PESTO!

[newguy90]

@KokoTalula

He did a walnut pesto in a past video. Just search for it on his channel.

[bbroegger]

in chef school i was taught never to use the black pepper you buy in the stores allready prepared. it tastes like Dust... i was taught only to use freshly ground pepper... kinda annoys me to see alot of americans use that dusty black pepper ...but thats just me hehe :-)

[sarelle500gr]

yeah, show your wife dude ;)

[nishbrown]

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, but it looks intriguing!

[Jakathera]

the cumin ended it for me :(

[eatitrich]

super great! i love the shaved parsley trick..i will use it on my show, if you dont mind:-)

regards claude

[knighteagle22]

@longshanlung

It's pretty much one of those universal sauces.. he mentions you can eat it with meat, chicken, fish and even bread! yum! that's if you like pesto's and green salsas.

[Sarah1627]

Haha first date... looks Delicious..mmm

thx for the awesome vids

[JoshHawkinsMK]

Dude I've lived in South America and been to Argentina several times and never seen chimichuri as thick as that. Maybe I'll give it a try to see if it turns out different in flavor. Usually they put it on steak though... Also I've always seen it with more oil in it.

[SiDKiLLeR666]

True.....its not like we do it in Argentina....but well....close enough!...

[SpyCrab]

I never cook and i never watch cooking shows or videos, but for some reason i can't get enough of these videos.They're somehow entertaining.You rule!

[elarhy]

this stuff is amazing on plain bread, best apetaizer.

I eat this at restaurants, and have always wanted to make it, but forgot to look up how, so thank you¡

[pubtor]

slimy

[Barnekkid]

The lady has a pretty smile, but the parsley was kind of weird.

[hourglas39]

Nice recipe, thanks for sharing :)

I'm gonna try this one for sure !

[zephyrspromise]

"true story! (i think...)"

[gnnnjh]

[seka1986]

It looks delicious.

[puppi68]

I love it with steak...yummy

[fezan84]

[megen1996]

[sterlingman]

I like this sauce on churrasco.

Thanks Chef John!

[jkshoujk]

If I could just eat that, I'd be happy to die.

[zzpandaboyzz]
