we had a friend in town as well as my mom. my easy go to meal is always a pork tenderloin roast. it is one of those recipes that i feel i have perfected. but i wanted to try something different from my normal raspberry jalapeno sauce. i decided to go with a chimichurri sauce. i have never made one before and i read several different recipes. i rarely follow a recipe and i never measure (except for baking). i also forgot to take a pic of the final product, but i promise you this emerald green goodness will make any meat or veggie extra special.
here is approximately what i did. you don't want to make a huge batch. any left overs will only be good for a few days in the fridge.
1 cup finely chopped parseley
1/2 cup finely chopped basil
1/4 cup finely chopped mint
2 cloves finely chopped garlic
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt to taste
1/2 t red pepper flakes
1/2 cup of olive oil or until it thoroughly coats all the herbs and enough to make a sauce
**most recipes call for red wine vinegar as the acid, but i didn't have any, so i improvised and the lemon tasted great**
