Looking for a Chimichuri recipe

I have had some okay Chimichuri, but the best I have ever had was at NAS Pulcallpa, in Perú.

As I recall the chow hall boss was a former U.S. military guy, native speaker, that went "native". He made the best Chimichuri I have ever had.

Question. Has anyone eaten at the NAS chow hall and had this guy's Chimichuri? Does anyone know what I'm talking about and/or have a really good recipe for Chimichuri? The store bought stuff is crap and many of the recipes online are not that much better.

I could have sworn I got the recipe from the guy but it was so long ago and my computer that I had back the went tits-up on me long ago. I've tried my own hand at it and....its....okay, but I would die for this guys chimi again!

ok here is one I use. I have another also. Hope you enjoy...

Mireya’s Chimichurri Sauce

Prep Time: 6-10 Minutes depending on hand chopped or done in a processor.
Ingredients:
2 Cups of fresh parsley leaves (packed)
4 Tsp Oregano (fresh is good but not mandatory)
4-5 large cloves of Garlic
1/4 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tsp Red Chili Flakes
1 Shallot
1 Cup Extra Virgin olive oil (EVOO)
Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Do this to taste

I normally do the fine chopping but that takes time so you can use a food processer to speed it up.

1. Chop everything by hand or in the food processor less the EVOO.

2. If using the processor put the denser items in the bottom and the parsley on top. (less the EVOO)

3. Chop everything until the pieces are really fine. If using a processor open it up every so often and stir very thing is getting evenly chopped very fine.

4. When finely diced start to pour in the EVOO a ¼ cup at a time and mix. Repeat until you get it all folded in.

5. Cover the mixture and put in the fridge for 6 hrs to allow the flavors to blend. Overnight is best.

6. Remove from the fridge and stir it up as the ingredients will settle below the EVOO during the night.

7. Serve at room temp or slightly chilled.
