Recipe - Argentine Marinade

One half teaspoon Saffron threads
One half cup Virgin olive oil (1 20ml)
One half cup White wine vinegar (1 20 ml)
1 Spanish onion, minced
2 Garlic cloves, pressed
One fourth cup Parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon Thyme
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Salt & pepper

An Argentine asado or barbecue is not authentic without this delicious
marinade called chimichuri. it is similar to a multi spiced
vinaigrette and is given an earthier tone with the addition of
saffron.

I serve this with poultry or shellfish and brush it on top of garlic
bread before toasting.

Powder threads and steep in lemon juice for 20 minutes. Combine all
ingredients with whisk and store in covered jar.
