This is a sauce that is my new favorite condiment. It is used in Latin cuisine, think...Argentina. This sauce is good with ANY type of meat/seafood. I love making it up, and using it all week for dinner. The sauce tastes a little off right after you blend it all up. But after a couple of hours of sitting, the flavors meld together, and become very harmonious. You don't need to store this in the refrigerator, as it contains nothing that can go bad. Try it out...it really bumps up the flavor of plain old meat. (It is also good on top of white rice)
Chimichurri Sauce
1 c. cilantro leaves 1 c. flat leaf parsley 1/2 c. mint leaves 4 garlic cloves 3/4 - 1 c. olive oil 1/4 - 1/3 c. red wine vinegar Salt and Pepper to taste
Blend all herbs, and garlic in a blender or food processor. Add vinegar, and pulse. Add olive oil and salt and pepper, blend until incorporated. Let sit for at least an hour, stir mixture, and serve on top grilled meat.

The mint brightens the dish...it doesn't scream mint. It more tastes like garlic/herb and vinegar yumminess. Try it, it's really good!
