Chimichurri
- 100 grams Coriander
- 25 grams Flat Leaf Parsley
- 3 pieces Canned Anchovy Fillets
- 2 cloves Garlic, Peeled
- 1 piece Red Chili, Stem And Seeds Removed
- 100 milliliters Olive Oil
- 2 teaspoons Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 1. Put all the ingredients except salt and pepper into the blender and blend until you have a smooth paste. Season to taste. Don't blend too much-it's nice to see some bits and pieces! Put it into an airtight container.
- 2. Allow it to rest in the fridge for at least 4 hours to let the flavours infuse! Do not skip this step as it makes a huge difference to the taste!
- 3. Enjoy!
- When I lived in Zurich, a favourite haunt of mine was Coco's Grill, both for its lovely hidden terrace and its "Fleischplattli" (grilled steak on a board served with toasted bread and homemade Chimichurri). Of course I begged them for their recipe, eventually persuading them to give up the list of ingredients but no additional details. I have been playing around with this sauce for at least a year and it is now pretty much perfect (Swiss reserve being cast aside for once)!
