Need quick answer to Chimichurri sauce question

[mneeley490]

I see recipes that use parsley, cilantro, or a combination of both.
Which is preferred? At this point, I'm leaning toward both.

I use a cup of each in my sauce.

Sounds good. I'm on my way to the store, but I'll check the site on my phone before I buy.

Here is the recipe I use;
1
Chimichurri Sauce

• 1 cup Italian Flat Leaf Parsley finely chopped
• 1 cup Cilantro finely chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic minced
• 1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest
• 2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
• ¼ cup Red Wine Vinegar
• ½ cup Olive Oil
• Salt & Pepper
• Combine ingredients and store in a covered container until ready to serve.

Mine is pretty much like Millers above, one thing I add is I mince a red jalapeño for color.

Basically this, but I add some sort of Chile to the mix just to keep it spicy.

I ended up using a close variation of the above recipe. It was great.
Earlier, I had gone to Cost+ World Market, as they used to have a chimichurri spice packet that was really good when reconstituted with olive oil. So, of course they no longer sell it, but did have small jars of sauce for $6.99. I bought one, tasted it when I got home, and after spitting it out in the sink, decided I needed to make my own.
Thanks for the recipes and advice!
