Chimichurri Sauce with Pecans



I really like the versatility of this chimichurri sauce. I served it last week with steak, but, it would also taste delicious on chicken, grilled veggies and even pasta! It was a last minute decision to add pecans...I think they really add to the sauce! Enjoy!

6-8 garlic cloves, peeled
1 head of fresh cilantro leaves (minus the little stems)
1/2 c. of fresh parsley leaves
1/2 tsp crushed red chilies
1 tsp pepper
2 Tbl. balsamic vinegar
rind from one small lime, grated on a microplane
juice from above lime
1 Tbl soy sauce
3/4 c. raw pecans
1/3 c. extra virgin olive oil

Get out your blender and throw in everything but the olive oil. Blend well (will be a little thick). Slowly add the olive oil. Blend. Serve with steak, chicken, veggies or pasta!
