Chimichurri Argentino--Steak's Best Friend!

Chimichurri, in my opinion, is one of the best sauces for steak. Chimichurri Argentino (Argentine chimichurri) varies a little from region to region but this is the basic recipe:

5 large garlic cloves
1 cup olive or vegetable oil (for this one I used half of each)
1 cup parsley
1/8 cup red wine vinegar
Salt to taste (about 3 tbs)
1 tsp black pepper
1tsp red pepper flakes

Process everything in a food processor until parsley and garlic are broken down (but don't overdo it, you don't want a paste). That's all. Easy enough right? Enjoy!

PS: You can save it in a closed container and keep it in the fridge for about a week!

Superbowl Food: Refried Beans Dip

Since we are in Super Bowl mode, I want to share this Refried Beans recipe with you. It has my own twist and little healthier-alternative to the typical refried beans recipe. Also, check out my Homemade Guacamole video--it's another Super Bowl favorite! You can use these beans as a dip, spread, stuffing, side dish, and much more if you get creative!  I'll be adding more recipes today as well! ENJOY!

Homemade Chunky Guac

This is one of my first video blogs! I do sound a little nervous but hopefully that'll improve with time. However, the star of this video is the guac, so test it out at home and ENJOY! 

Eggplant Mayo

First thing I want to say about this recipe is that it's way healthier than actual mayonnaise. It's prepared with olive oil, no eggs, and antioxidants-rich garlic. Also, it has a unique flavor. I learned this recipe from my mom...like most of the stuff I know. This recipe is genius! You can use it as a dip, spread, or filling.

Dice two large egg plants and boil until soft. Once tender drain and put in a blender with 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 2 garlic cloves, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend well. Pour out in a container, cover, and refrigerate. Serve and a bread spread or dip. ENJOY!
