Incredible. I marinated it in the chimichurri, then grilled it and topped it with chimichurri butter. Had it with grilled mushrooms and grilled plums for dessert.

I made enough chimi that there's a bunch left over, and I think I'll do chicken thighs in it next. I also have a skirt steak in the freezer.......decisions....

It freezes beautifully. Like pesto does. Did you know you can use dried oregano if you don't have any fresh? Oh wait... you'll ALWAYS have fresh as long as my herb garden holds out.

It's not going to last that long. :lol:

It occurs to me that it would make a fine salad dressing as well. Tossed with pasta. Drizzled over veggies. I can see why you fell in love. :yay:

Yeah, it really is the pesto of South America. It's so fresh, and yet decadent with that garlic and olive oil. Did you add lime juice to yours?

I did, plus extra hots. It has pretty much everything I like in it - olive oil, vinegar, garlic, hot pepper flakes, lime juice. I'm going to fool around with the recipe, maybe add some Dijon mustard to it and smoke a pork shoulder.

Dijon mustard huh? Hmm... I think the dijon might emulsify it too much and you'd end up with more of a mayo type "spread" texture. Of course that may make it stick better.

By the way, HOLY CRAP... THANK YOU for posting the link to the blog. Today, my page views QUADRUPLED thanks to folks from here. WOW. Hope folks are enjoying it. Ought to be interesting over the next week. I'm going to cook some, but also eat out while on vacation. I'll make sure to take photos of some of the more interesting stuff we eat.

:poorbaby: I'm grinding on half a leftover Subway sub from yesterday; figured the banana peppers and hots would be a bit much so early but it's actually pretty good.

That's what I was thinking, that the Dijon would make it into kind of a paste that can be slathered on and stay during the smoking process. I got a bunch of pork chops the other day so I can experiment on them without committing to a large chunk of meat.

I thought "I should have said something about nasty PM pics" as I was gassing up the weed eater... :shrug: struck out with Rosie but got all my yard work done already :yay:

My daughter will be out here wanting to :strangle: for making so much noise that early but I seem to get more work done by 9am than some do all day

We apply mustard to our Butts before we put on our dry rubs. The mustard adds no additional flavor and just acts like a binder to hold the spices on untill the bark is formed, so I would put the mustard on the sholder first and the chimichurri.
