An Argentine woman showed me how she makes this. The "inch" measurements refer to visual measuring in the bottle.
CHIMICHURRI
In a half-liter bottle that closes tightly combine the following:
1/4 inch deep coarse salt
3/4 inch hot water
Close bottle and shake. Add the following:
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon oregano or basil
2 tablespoons paprika, both hot and sweet combined to taste
1 tablespoon mustard (normal or Dijon to taste)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon tomato paste (not traditional but my friend uses it)
Close and shake again. Add the following:
3/4 inch vegetable oil
1/3 inch vinegar
Close, shake and store. Reaches peak flavor after one week...keeps
well for weeks.
