Amazing blend of flavors!! <br /> <br />We made a few modifications, reduced the vinegar and water as mentioned by another reviewer, and added a few of our own: <br /> <br />1/4 to 1/3 cup red wine vinegar <br />1/4 cup warm water <br />used olive oil <br />5 teaspoons total of finely chopped fresh parsley <br />4 teaspoons total of minced garlic <br />1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper - we couldn't find 'chili flakes' <br />reduced the salt total to less than 1/2 teaspoon of Kosher salt <br /> <br />As you prepare your meal make the chimichurri sauce first and set aside then begin the rest of the dishes. It's tasty after an hour, but the flavors really melded together after several hours. yummm. <br /> <br />we used this sause in place of pesto on the tomato, mozzarella and basil open faced sandwich. Also, it was very nice served with the parmesian potato pancakes!
