It will make ANYTHING taste good.  Okay, maybe not anything, but pretty darn close to it.

Like most things on The Fresh Find, it is SO simple to make.  There are foods that seem so complicated and I’m always blown away by how easy it is.  Exhibit A: this chimichurri.

Essentially, you just throw the herbs, red wine vinegar, and olive oil into the food processor and, voila!  Chimichurri you have.

Last time, I ate this Chimichurri over Pan Seared Scallops and a Butternut Squash Puree.

The best thing about making a jar of this chimichurri, is having it readily available for your meals over the next few weeks days.  This sauce brightens up any dish and I put a dollop on almost everything.

Here, I smothered it onto this veggie scramble and ughhhh, SO good.

For the Veggie Scramble: (serves 2)

  1. Heat 2 tbs olive oil in a pan on medium heat.  Add 3 garlic cloves (minced) and 1/2 onion (diced).  Cook until onions are translucent.
  2. Add 1 chopped zucchini, 1 diced tomato and 2 handfuls of spinach.  Allow veggies to cook and brown slightly.
  3. Add 3 eggs and 2 egg whites.  Move continuously on pan until well scrambled and cooked.

Get your smokin’ hot eggs on a plate, warm up some tortillas and top with chimichurri!  We also added some fresh basil from the garden.
