Chimichurri

[srsly]

on a big slab of grilled flank steak is heavenly. I made some with oregano and olive oil that dh brought back from Greece yesterday. One of the pilots has relatives that live there and so he took a couple of handfuls of oregano for each of the crew, dh included. It smells soooooo fragrant. McCormick oregano has nothing on these Greek bad boys.

Is that Greek?  Thought it was Mexican.

Right.

My oregano came from Greece.

No Mexican was involved in my steak dinner last night,which btw, was delicioso.

There's greek oregano and mexican oregano. Not sure what the difference is though.

The one that dh brought me home was very, very fragrant. I smelled it as soon as he opened his suitcase. It was packed in a plastic bag. I told him he's lucky the sniffing dogs at US customs didn't "out" him. The herbs were right out someone's garden in Greece.

I have Mexican oregano from the grocery store (I think it's McCormick's or some other fancy schmanzy type of bottle of that brand name). I had to stick my nose in the bottle to get a whiff of the scent which was faint. It could be that it's been in the bottle years before they were placed in the store shelves.

I use cilantro for chimichurri... I never considered using oregano.

The difference between Thai basil and regular basil is big, too...

I think the Mexican oregano has more peppery notes and more of a bite to it. I use it in chili.

Argentinian recipes that I found on the internet all have oregano, parsley, red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic, pepper, and sometimes, onions. I found a couple of them that included cilantro. I do like it with cilantro, but that's not Argentinian.

I thought it was a song about chimney sweeps.
