Ingredients:





   1/2 ts Saffron threads


   1/2 c  Virgin olive oil (1 20ml)


   1/2 c  White wine vinegar (1 20 ml)


     1    Spanish onion, diced

 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.
