Ingredients:


1/2 teaspoon saffron threads

1/2 cup virgin olive oil -- (1 20ml)

1/2 cup white wine vinegar -- (1 20 ml)

1 medium Spanish onion -- diced

2 cloves garlic -- pressed

1/4 cup parsley -- chopped

1 teaspoon thyme

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt and pepper
 

Preparation / Directions:


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. From "Wild About Saffron--A Contemporary Guide to an Ancient Spice", by Ellen Szita.
