Chimichurri Aioli Or Argentine Tartar Sauce
- 1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro leaves
- 2 teaspoon capers, drained, smashed
- 2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
- Grated rind from one lemon
- 1/4 teaspoon crumbled dry oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ancho or aleppo chile powder
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 fresh egg yolks - room temperature
- 1 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Make the Chimichurri by combining the parsley, cilantro, capers, vinegar, lemon rind, oregano and chile powder in a small bowl and set aside. (I make this in a small food processor and just give a good whirl to a pesto consistency)
- In a mortar & pestle grind up garlic and salt until a smooth paste is formed.
- Beat egg yolks with an electric mixer until pale yellow and thick.
- Add olive oil, drizzled drop by drop into the egg yolk mixture as you continue to beat. As the mixture thickens, you can then add the oil in a thin stream as you beat. Half way through, add in the garlic paste.
- When the oil is used up, and the mixture is a thick mayonnaise consistency, fold in the chimichurri mixture.
- Correct for seasoning (you may want more salt, depending on your vinegar and capers) and refrigerate.
