Mint Chimichurri Sauce Food

MINT CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the mint, parsley, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes and salt to a blender or food processor.
• Pulse until the ingredients are well chopped, but not puréed. Be careful not to blend for too long as the blades can heat up and cause the bright green mint to turn dark. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides to process evenly.
• Transfer the chimichurri sauce to a small bowl or jar and stir in the diced red onion.
• Taste for seasoning and add more salt, red wine vinegar and pepper flakes as desired for your taste.
• Cover plastic wrap directly on top of the chimichurri and store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.

ROASTED LAMB WITH MINT CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Rub the lamb with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange the lamb fat-side up on a roasting pan and roast 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350 degrees F and roast until golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the lamb reads 130 degrees F, another 25 to 30 minutes.
• While the lamb roasts, make the chimichurri. Combine the mint, parsley, oregano, garlic, serrano and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor and blend. With the machine running, drizzle in the lime juice and remaining 1/2 cup olive oil and process just until fully combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the lamb from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the lamb will continue to cook. The temperature should read 140 degrees F. Slice the lamb against the grain and add to a platter. Top with some of the chimichurri and serve the remaining sauce alongside the meat at the table.
