CHIMICHURRI BURGER

Steps:

• Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine oil, herbs, vinegar, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt. Pulse until finely chopped.
• Season sliced onions with salt. Grill, turning frequently, until charred and tender, 10 to 14 minutes. Brush with chimichurri sauce and cook 1 minute more, flipping once. Transfer onions to a plate. Season patties with salt. Grill 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve burgers on buns with onions, tomato, and arugula; top with chimichurri sauce.

CHIMICHURRI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make the sauce: On a cutting board, smash and coarsely chop the garlic with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mash the mixture using the side of your knife until a coarse paste forms. Move the paste to the side of the cutting board, then chop the parsley and oregano together with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Combine the garlic paste and the chopped herbs and chop and mash until the herbs are bruised and fragrant.
• Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the red-pepper flakes, black pepper, vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil; stir to combine. (You should have about 3/4 cup chimichurri. It can be prepared in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.)
• Make the chicken: Pat the chicken dry. If thickness varies greatly, pound to an even thickness, about 1/2-inch. Rub half the chimichurri all over the chicken and let sit for at least 10 minutes. (You could also refrigerate overnight; just let it come to room temperature before cooking.)
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Wipe off excess marinade from the chicken and cook until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and 4 minutes per side for breasts. (For grilling and oven instructions, see Tips below.)
• Serve with remaining chimichurri spooned over top.
