Chimichurri Sauce

Chimichurri sauce is a green sauce from Argentina that is now popular all over Central and South America.  If you follow the link, or Google Chimichurri you will get a lot of different recipes.  Here is one that I made recently that came out to be delightful.
1/2 c. cilantro (use parsley if you don't like cilantro)
6T balsamic vinegar
2T olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1T chipotle steak spice mix (the link isn't the exact one I used)
1t dried oregano
1t McCormick Montreal Steak Spice

NOTE: it is not necessary to buy both types of steak spice listed above.  Use 1T of whatever spice mix you already have, it should be peppery.  Add salt if the mix does not have salt. 

Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender, except olive oil.  Slowly add the olive oil while the processor is running after all other ingredients have been combined.  Store for use later, or use it right away to marinate steak, chicken, pork or shrimp.
I used the sauce to marinate chicken tenders for approximtely 6 hours, reserving 1/2 of the sauce for use later.  I cooked the chicken in the oven, 350 degrees.  Along with the chicken, I roasted zucchini, onions and carrots that had been tossed in olive oil and chipotle steak spice mix.  I also prepared ouzo pasta and tossed it with about 3T of the chimichurri sauce. 
For presentation, I put the ouzo on the plate and stacked the veggies and chicken on top, then spooned a few tablespoons of chimichurri sauce on top.  It was scrumptuous and balanced.
