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.

I love raw radishes - it can be hard to get them home before I eat them! That sharp crispness is just the thing on a hot summer day. But, if you’re looking for a dinner idea that can use up a fair amount of radishes in a unique way, we recommending roasting them. You can keep it simple, or try this 2-part recipe that features a quick sauce of brown butter and citrus. This classic approach to sauce is a great way to dress up fish or chicken as well.
