Chimichurri! :D

Normally, I team up with Theo every weekend to have fun together. But this weekend, he is away on snowboarding vacation, so I'll have to manage the fun on my own :P lol.

So besides all the boring stuff like schoolwork and laundry which are not fun to blog about, I was thinking of switching over to the Argentinian cuisine and try to make Chimichurri!

One of mine and Theo's favorite restaurants is an Argentinian one in The Hague and they always have a cute little pot on each table with something red and oily in it which tastes amazing together with your steak and baked potato or fries or anything. It says in the menu that this is Chimichurri and that you can eat it with everything and is typically Argentinian :) So I was doing some googling and I found a nice recipe which I think will qualify for my experiment.
This is the recipe and I think it sounds amazingly nice:


120ml olive oil
60ml red wine vinegar
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, peeled, deseeded and chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 small handful chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
                                                                                                                 1 bay leaf , finely chopped

 Whisk olive oil with the red wine vinegar. Add the remaining ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix well, then stand for 2 hours before using. This will keep, refrigerated, for 5 days. (Source)

I'll skip the cumin though, because that's a spice which I am not fond of at all. But it will probably work out fine ! :D So Argentinian theme this weekend. Maybe I will try to make my own BBQ sauce as well ? The restaurant has an AMAZING home-made BBQ sauce. So it must be doable!

I'll be very happy to have my baby back for the weekend after this one though, it's only 10 days without him but everything is just so boring without him around/on the phone. So I can't wait to be together again with my love ! :D

Here is a pic from Venice last year in February :) Sitting in the sun near the San Marco Plaza :P It was so awesome to explore it with my lovely baby :)
