Argentinian Chimichurri Sauce

2 cups fresh parsley and/or cilantro, firmly packed
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1/2 cup Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Pinot Noir Barrel Aged Wine Vinegar
Sea Salt
Red Pepper Flakes
Chimichurri is one of most delicious and versatile sauces around. It's traditionally served with grilled steak, but it goes great with chicken and fish too. Chimichurri works well as a marinade, and is also delicious on vegetables or on grilled sausage.
Pulse the garlic and onion in the food processor until finely chopped. Add the parsley and/or cilantro, and basil, and pulse briefly, until finely chopped.
Transfer the mixture to a separate bowl. Add the Garlic Olive Oil, and vinegar, and stir. (Adding the liquids outside of the blender gives the chimichurri the correct texture. You don't want the herbs to be completely puréed, just finely chopped). Season with salt and red pepper flakes to taste. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

The Best French Onion Soup


3 Red Onions
2 White or Yellow Onions
1/3-cup Butter Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (plus extra for brushing baguette)
¼-cup dry red wine
1 ¼ tsp sugar
2 (14-oz cans) low salt Chicken Broth
2 (14-oz cans) low salt Beef Broth
Bay Leaf
Sea Salt and Ground Pepper, to taste
1-tbsp Traditional Balsamic Vinegar
Gruyere and/or Parmesan and/or Asiago cheese
Baguette
Chopped parsley for garnish
~Slice onions into medium thick slices (medium slices give a much fuller taste than thin slices)
~In a large non-stick skillet, over medium heat, cook onions in the olive oil. After Onions cook a bit and become limp, sprinkle them with sugar and stir well
~Caramelize onions thoroughly until they are a rich brown color (they need constant attention at this stage while continuing to turn them over and over – approximately 45 minutes) Caramelize, caramelize and then caramelize some more!
~After onions are done, add a can of beef broth to the skillet and deglaze the pan. DO NOT DRAIN OFF SKILLET, and pour everything into a stockpot
~Stir in the rest of the broths, wine, and bay leaf. Bring to a SLOW boil. Add fresh ground pepper to taste. Turn down the heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes
~Add the Balsamic Vinegar and adjust the seasoning with sea salt and pepper
~Let the soup cool down and then heat it up again prior to serving. If soup is too thick for your taste, just add more beef broth.
~Cut Baguette into 1 inch thick slices for large croutons. Lightly brush with Butter Extra-Virgin Olive Oil and place on a cookie sheet. Toast well in oven
~Ladle warmed soup into bowls, add one or two croutons in a single layer. Sprinkle on cheese to taste, stick under the broiler to melt the cheese and crisp out the crouton. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
