    The directions should say to let it sit in refrigerator for a couple hours so the flavors will blend--and the red pepper flakes can infuse flavor to the whole bowl. - 7/14/12

    I lived in Argentina for over a year and this is an amazing sauce. Even just spread on wheat bread. In most major cities you can buy it in a jar instead of making it as well. - 7/14/12

    Wonderful stuff! We loved it! But, uh, five minutes to prepare? Took me much longer, more like 20 minutes at least, what with bumbling around, washing the cilantro and parsley and just getting things assembled. I'll make this again for sure! - 7/17/12

    I was married to a Colombian man, who introduced me to chimichurri. I love it, but I've never made it for myself before. This recipe is wonderful. - 7/14/12

    This was good but my husband does NOT like Cilantro, so I made it with and without. - 7/14/12
