freedom from recipes, and power to be inspired, create, and substitute!

For those who just can't follow recipes....for those who are just inspired by ingredients, places, and delicious design...and most importantly for those who need more creativity in their life....This blog harkens back to the days before recipes were much more like musings, and narratives of creating environments and expressions of culture. We aim to inspire, not to instruct. This blog is a record of experiments, successful and unsuccessful, and any contributions from others who share the dare.....

leftover parsley....chimichurri!

the original concept of my culinary endeavors was to come up with a cookbook that would creatively use leftover ingredients in a way that i would actually eat them up--not a huge fan of leftovers.  I think the title of that project was 'prime'--as in with a prime ingredient that presents itself to you, what could you make ?(like 2 egg whites, half bunch of parsley about to die, or the remnants of a tequila bottle that is too small for a cocktail).

anyways!! chimichurri was the idea that came from the half bunch of parsley. hand minced with garlic, lemon wedge squeeze and olive oil--fancy in a flash

it went spectacular with the porkchop i had picked up at our new local market on my way home from work...

and even better mixed in with the roasted potatoes from the farmers market (actually 3 weeks old, and needing to be cooked themselves. Please note that i mixed in the chimichurri AFTER roasting the potatoes.
