Ingredients

2 c diced dill pickles
8 oz cream cheese
1/3 c chopped green onion

1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Mix together the cream cheese, pickle juice, garlic, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning until smooth and creamy.
Mix in the chopped pickles. Refrigerate for an hour before serving. Delicious on crackers, or potato chips. If making chip dip I like to chop the pickles very finely, but for crackers a little bigger chunks is nice.

Chimichurri Red and Green Sauce Recipes

Red Sauce Recipe

What is it NOT

Chimichurri is not a Pesto as some might think. Pesto is primarily for pasta. Chimichurri most often to cook meat.

It is also not a Marinade. I’m sure there are those who do use it for a marinade, but largely it is used to baste meat as it is cooking.

Chimichurri Green and Red Sauce Recipes

Cooks of Argentia primarily use Chimichurri to baste meat while it cooks. Therefore Chimichurri basting sauce should be a loose, oil-based condiment, not a paste. You can achieve a coarse, loose mixture, by using a knife if you are not proficient with a food processor.

Wikipedia states: Chimichurri, originating in Argentina, is a fresh ingredient sauce used in cooking. It comes in a green version and the traditional red sauce. Dominant flavors are parsley and garlic with a supporting cast of olive oil, oregano, and red wine vinegar.

Traditionally

The traditional Chimichurri of Argentina does not include chiles. So, if you enjoy the heat of a chile pepper and like the brightness it brings to meats, include chiles in your sauce. Feel free to modify any of our recipes to suit your own taste.

Fat Farm recipes are certainly for inspiration and provide a starting point for your culinary creativity. – jughandle

More Than You Wanted To Know

The name’s origin is unclear. Numerous linguists hold the name, chimichurri, as derived from Basque’s tximitxurri, pronounced chee-mee-CHOO-ree; stumbling interpreted as ‘a mix of several things in no special order’.

Another story claims that the name comes from ‘Jimmy’s curry’, Jimmy, being an Englishman who joined the fight for Argentine Independence. His name, being difficult for Argentines to pronounce, morphed into chimichurri.

Miguel Brasco, an Argentine food critic, believes the word was coined when the British failed in their invasion of Rio de la Plata in 1806 and were taken prisoner. The detainees requested condiments for their food and mixed English with Spanish.

Perbacco chef, Staffan Terje believes that chimichurri is identical to Sicily’s salmoriglio sauce, which is served mainly on seafood.

Food historians think that chimichurri was invented by gauchos to flavor meat cooked over open fires. If so, the gauchos probably used dried herbs as fresh herbs would spoil.
