Notes
Stores in the fridge in a covered jar for up to a week. To use, remove from the fridge at least 15 minutes before planning to use to allow the olive oil to return to a liquid state. If in a hurry and the olive oil is still too solid, simply run the covered jar under warm water for a minute.
Freeze chimichurri for 3-4 months in single portion ice cube trays. When you are in need of the sauce, simply thaw in the fridge, or place in a sealed ziploc bag and set in a water bath for 15-20 minutes to thaw.
