chimmi churri

I made some chimmi churri yesterday, and it is wonderful! Very spicy.
(it is similar to what Barb posted last week--she called it "Shoog".)
You can find it on the Internet. I used mint, flat-leaf parsley,
cilantro, 2 garlic cloves, 2 jalapenos (you could probably use crushed
red pepper flakes), 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/3 cup red wine vinegar, a bit
of salt. Whirr in food processor.
I first encountered it at a dinner where it was served with sliced
steak strips. Heavenly !! I used it with pork chops, and with scrambled
eggs, and even on a toasted English muffin. It would make shoe leather
taste good!!
Let me know what you think, and how you use it.

Completely off the topic - but the title made me think of Mary
Poppins...Chim - chiminey chim chiminey chim chim cheree (using liberal
spellings of these words of course lol)

I love chimichurri sauce served with fried plantain chips. This is a
popular appetizer (often served in place of tortilla chips and salsa) in
many South American restaurants in Houston. I like Michael Cordua's
version (parsley, oregano, garlic, white vinegar, olive oil, and s/p).

I can't seem to find a recipe for "shoog". Do you have a link?

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Oh, oh! I like this "ear worm" description. Those words describe exactly
what it would take a paragraph to do.
Yes, it set off the same ear worm for me -- chiminy -
I got the "Sound of Music" CD for my f-i-l when we last visited and it
played non-stop. I've had that ear worm since!

Ear Worm: it's an apt description, is it not? Bores it's way into your
brain and you can't find the OFF switch for the music! LOL
