Chimichurri Sauce for Steaks

Rosemary Garlic

Prepare;

  • Take fresh rosemary and mince it, add olive oil, and mix on a plate.
  • Take a clove of garlic, slice off one end to expose all of the cloves. The same as if you were doing simple roasted garlic.
  • Sprinkle salt on the open ends of the garlic bunch, and then rub that end in the rosemary paste to coat it well.
  • Wrap clove in foil
  • Repeat for as many cloves as you like

To cook;

  • 400 deg F oven for 45 mins or until soft and mushy
  • Squeeze out and use the mix

Mike's Tomato-Bean-Olive Pasta Sauce

Prepare;

  • 3c thinly sliced button mushrooms
  • 1/2c sliced black olives
  • 1 can canneloni beans
  • 1 can chopped tomato
  • 1 clove garlic
  • basil, oregano, and salt to taste

To cook;

  • In a food processor, pulse the beans and tomato together. You want it chunky, but with well-chopped beans.
  • Chop and begin cooking your garlic with a little butter or oil.
  • Add your tomato-bean mixture
  • Add your herbs to taste (no salt yet)
  • Simmer on med-low for 10 mins.
  • Once it's good and and simmering, add your mushrooms and black olives.
  • Cook on low another 10 mins.
  • Add salt to taste

When taste-testing, your goal is to have a rather strong-flavored sauce. Once you add it to your pasta, the strength will instantly reduce by half.
