I would like to make my own garlic and chilli oil. Can somebody give me some tips or recipes?
Thanks in advance.

I'm from Argentina and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this recipe! Though I agree with Gabriela, it looks a bit like soup, but those are the right ingredients, so well done!
I remember hearing about the origins of this sauce and found this on Wikipedia:

"It is told that the unusual name comes from 'Jimmy McCurry', an Irishman who is said to have first prepared the sauce. He was marching with the troops of General Jasson Ospina in the 19th century, sympathetic to the cause of Argentine independence. The sauce was popular and the recipe was passed on. However, 'Jimmy McCurry' was difficult for the native people to say. Some sources claim Jimmy's sauce's name was corrupted to 'chimichurri', while others say it was changed in his honor.
Other similar stories involve Jimmy Curry, an English meat importer; a Scot, James C. Hurray, travelling with gauchos; and an English family in Patagonia overheard by the group of Argentinians that were with them while saying "give me the curry". All the stories share an English speaking colonist and the corruption of names or words by the local population."

Very interesting, indeed!

Congrats on your hard work!!!!

Natalia

I am from Argentina, and if you don't mind my saying it, the chimichurri in the photo looks more like a soup than what the real thing should look like. Chimichurri is pretty much like a chutney sort of thing, it should have a much thicker consistency as the vinegar is only there to act as a preserve but you should really taste the spices in it. I hope it helps.
Thanks for including it in your magazine!
Gabriela

5. Marcos Garcia Sun 15 Mar 2009 @ 04:49 Dear Jamie: I am a 58 years old that started to cook about 8 years ago when our daughter introduced you to us in your tapes. Thank you for your wonderful easy to follow recipes. Just before very unfortunately becoming mentally disabled, my wonderful wife bought us a wood fire oven that we treasure. As you know is a beautiful feeling starting to light a fire that will cook whatever we decide to share with our loved ones. We are all vegetarians (our 2 daughters, my wife and I) and are looking for vegetarian dishes to cook in that oven. Will you make any particular program with vegetarian dishes in the wood fire oven? love to you and family.Marcos

6. Rikke Fri 13 Mar 2009 @ 08:37 I agree - it would be fantastic, if you could write a cookbook for vegetarians. I´m allergic to meat and eggs and in Denmark where I live, it´s very complicated to avoid.

Regards Rikke
