How to Make an Easy Garlicky Chimichurri Sauce Recipe - based on an elevator conversation with my elderly neighbor- olive oil, garlic, fresh parsley & moren Easy Garlicky Chimichurri Sauce

A while ago, an elderly neighbor entered the elevator that I was in. She covered her mouth and apologized for her garlicky breath.  She then went on to tell me how she had just eaten a chicken dish that she regularly makes. I love the wisdom of my elders so I took a mental note of how she prepared her chimichurri sauce recipe – with olive oil, garlic, fresh parsley and cilantro.

My husband Reggie really likes cilantro, so I decided to make the marinade for my family. Since I had already cooked chicken the night before, I tested it out on pork…the other white meat.  Everyone in my home – including my “selective eater” Sean – enjoyed the flavored pork.

When I tasted it, I was reminded of a green chimichurri sauce (minus the vinegar). This great-tasting dish is perfect for the summer. In any event, it’s definitely worth a little garlic breath!

Garlicky Chimichurri Sauce Recipe

My Neighbor’s Chimichurri Style Pork Chop Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 4 cloves (sections) raw garlic (peeled and chopped)
  • 3 tbsps olive oil (I used extra light.)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 4 pork chops (I used thin, center cut ones.)
  • Seasoned salt and black pepper (to taste)

Directions

  1. Blend the parsley, cilantro, garlic, and olive oil together in the container of a food processor for 20 seconds.
  2. Add the water to the container and blend everything for 20 more seconds. Set the marinade aside.
  3. Season the pork chops with the seasoned salt and black pepper on both sides.
  4. Rub the marinade all over the pork chops and place them in a container (or plastic bag) to marinate in the refrigerator. (At minimum, leave the marinade on for 30 minutes. For maximum flavor, leave it on overnight.)
  5. Cook the pork chops using your desired method. I grilled my chops for 5 minutes on each side using my counter grill. (For safety reasons, be sure that the internal temperature of the pork is at least 160º F when using a cooking or meat thermometer.)
