Today, after a very long time, I sat with my laptop. I had an urge to blog. There is this super simple soba noodle recipe that has been sitting patiently in the draft state. I thought it’s time I share it. And since my boys were busy with their man-to-man talk today evening, I decided to use this opportunity.
Chimichurri sauce is not something I prepare a lot. For people who are not familiar, it’s a green sauce typically served on grilled meat.
I am a sucker for herb sauce, be it any kind and I always store some in the freezer. Sometimes a spoonful gets dropped in the soup, sometimes I spread it on toasted bread but most often I like to toss it with noodles or pasta. It’s one of my favorites way to prepare meal on a busy day. Quick, easy and always tasty. This chimichurri sauce was not very traditional. First, I didn’t have parsley and second, I made it little spicy by adding one jalapeno. There was mint, cilantro and garlic. I always like to add lemon in my herb sauce. It not only adds that refreshing acidic taste but also maintains the vibrant green shade. Then, there were a few chunks of fried Paneer lying around and I decided to add them as a protein in the noodles. All in all a great busy-day meal.
