Radish Greens Chimichurri
This chimichurri is a versatile sauce that is great over grilled meats but also adds a flavor punch when tossed with roasted veggies. My version is a zero-waste recipe that swaps out the parsley to make the most of in-season spicy radish greens, using their bite to complement the heat of jalapeno and the fresh cilantro.
Ingredients
- 1 cup radish greens (from 1-2 bunches)
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup red wine or sherry vinegar
- 1 jalapeno
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor and puree. (The mix should look like a pesto.) Season with salt and pepper to taste. To use for grilled meats: Divide the sauce in half, using one part to marinate meat such as steak or chicken overnight or at least 3 hours. Transfer the rest of the chimichurri to a sealed container and refrigerate. Bring the reserved sauce to room temperature. Grill the marinated meat and spoon sauce over the meat to serve.
