Instructions

  • 1
    In a blender or food processor, combine marinade ingredients and blend until smooth.

    To start, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, and garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend these ingredients until you achieve a smooth and well-combined marinade.

  • 2
    Place the vegetables in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them, tossing to coat.

    Next, place all the vegetables - portobello mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion - into a large bowl. Pour the marinade you've just prepared over the vegetables and toss them gently to ensure they are all evenly coated with the marinade.

  • 3
    Let the vegetables marinate for at least 30 minutes, then preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

    Allow the vegetables to marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors. While the vegetables are marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat in preparation for grilling.

  • 4
    Grill the vegetables for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and lightly charred.

    Once the grill is ready, place the marinated vegetables on the grill and cook for about 20 minutes. Remember to turn the vegetables occasionally to ensure even cooking and to achieve a nice, lightly charred texture on all sides.

  • 5
    Prepare the chimichurri by blending all its ingredients in a food processor until well combined but still slightly chunky.

    While the vegetables are grilling, prepare the chimichurri sauce. In a food processor, combine fresh parsley, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. Process these ingredients until they are well combined but still retain a slightly chunky texture, which is characteristic of chimichurri.

  • 6
    Serve the grilled vegetables with the chimichurri sauce spooned over the top.

    Finally, once the vegetables are done grilling, remove them from the heat and serve them immediately. Spoon the freshly prepared chimichurri sauce over the grilled vegetables, allowing the vibrant flavors of the sauce to complement the smoky taste of the grilled vegetables.

    I must commend the creator of this Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri recipe for its innovative take on traditional grilled vegetables. As a connoisseur of Middle Eastern cuisine, I appreciate the tangy and herby notes in the chimichurri sauce, reminiscent of the flavors found in shawarma and falafel. The use of smoked paprika and garlic in the marinade adds a delightful depth to the dish. However, I would like to suggest a modification to make it more suitable for my dietary preferences - ensuring that the ingredients used are Halal-certified. Additionally, I appreciate that there are no nuts in this recipe, which is a thoughtful consideration for those with nut allergies like myself. The instructions are clear and concise, making it easy to follow. Overall, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try something new and exciting, with a minor adjustment to ensure Halal compliance.

    Yaaas, this veggie churrasco recipe is a total winner! I mean, I'm all about seafood, but even I can appreciate a sick grilled veggie dish every now and then. The marinade is on point - that smoked paprika gives it a rad depth of flavor. And don't even get me started on that chimichurri sauce... it's like a party in my mouth! The only thing that would make it better is if it had some grilled fish or seafood on top (just sayin'). Anyway, I'm def making this again and experimenting with some seafood add-ins. The prep time is a bit of a bummer, but trust me, it's worth it. 4 stars from me - would've been 5 if it had some poke-style tuna on top

    As I wandered through the flavors of this Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri, I was struck by the harmonious balance of tastes that danced upon my palate. The smoky undertones of the grilled vegetables, infused with the rich essence of smoked paprika, transported me to the sun-kissed landscapes of Argentina. Yet, I couldn't help but feel a sense of disconnection from the dish's cultural roots, and a pang of curiosity about the traditional Indigenous Australian bush foods that I hold so dear. The tangy and herby notes of the chimichurri sauce added a delightful contrast, reminiscent of the vibrant, verdant hues of the Australian outback. While this dish may not have been a direct reflection of my culinary passions, its modern fusion of flavors and commitment to sustainable, locally-sourced ingredients resonated deeply with my values. Overall, a delicious and thought-provoking culinary experience that left me craving for more - perhaps a fusion of Argentine and Indigenous Australian flavors?

    I'm afraid this Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri didn't quite hit the spot for me. As a traditional Scandinavian at heart, I tend to prefer heartier, more comforting dishes. While the idea of grilled vegetables with a tangy sauce sounds appealing, the flavors and ingredients didn't quite align with my tastes. Firstly, I'm lactose intolerant, so I was glad to see no dairy products in the recipe. However, the smokiness of the paprika and the herby notes in the chimichurri sauce were a bit too bold for my liking. I also have to admit that I'm not a fan of spicy food, and while the recipe didn't claim to be spicy, I did notice the presence of red pepper flakes in the chimichurri sauce - a bit of a drawback for me. That being said, I appreciate the effort that went into creating this dish, and I can see why others might enjoy it. Maybe I'll try adapting the recipe to suit my tastes better, using some Scandinavian staples like pickled red onions and a drizzle of good olive oil. 'Tak for opskriften', but I think I'll stick to my traditional Scandinavian baked goods and stews for now.

    As I pondered the flavors of this Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri, I couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity. The dish, with its vibrant and herby notes, seemed to whisper stories of far-off lands and culinary traditions. The combination of grilled vegetables and tangy chimichurri sauce was a fascinating one, and I appreciated the effort to create a healthy and wholesome meal option. However, as someone who deeply appreciates the rich flavors of traditional Arabic cuisine, I found myself yearning for the familiar tastes of shawarma or falafel. The absence of gluten in this dish was a welcome relief, given my dietary restrictions. Despite this, the overall experience felt somewhat distant from my culinary comfort zone. Perhaps, with a few tweaks to incorporate more aromatic spices and herbs, this dish could resonate more deeply with my palate. For now, it remains a pleasant, if not profoundly memorable, culinary encounter.

    An analytical take on this Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri recipe - I appreciate the balanced flavors and textures, with the smokiness of the grilled vegetables complemented by the tangy and herby notes of the chimichurri sauce. As someone who values fairness and objectivity, I must say that this dish scores well on both flavor and nutritional value. However, I do deduct a star for the relatively high preparation time, which might not be ideal for a weeknight dinner. Overall, a solid 4-star dish that I'd consider making again, especially with some tweaks to make it more shellfish-free friendly (which is a must for me, given my mild allergy).

    🌟 Ah, what a wonderful recipe! 😊 I love Mediterranean cuisine and this Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri is like a taste explosion in my mouth! 🀯 The combination of smoky grilled vegetables and tangy herby chimichurri sauce is just amazing. I can already imagine serving this to my friends and family, they will love it! ❀️ The recipe is not too difficult, but it does require some time to prepare and grill the vegetables. I think it's worth it, though. I'd make it again and again. πŸ˜‹ Perfect for warm gatherings and outdoor meals. β˜€οΈπŸ‘Œ

    ### A Delicious and Vibrant Dish! I really enjoyed making and eating this Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri. The recipe was clear and easy to follow, even for someone like me who is still learning English. The combination of marinated vegetables and tangy chimichurri sauce was amazing! I loved that it was a vegetarian dish, which fits my dietary preferences. The flavors were very traditional Latin American, which I appreciate. I did have to be careful with some ingredients to avoid any nut-related issues. Overall, I would definitely make this recipe again and share it with my loved ones. It's a great way to show care and support through food.

  • AxelVDB

    What a fantastic recipe! I'm absolutely stoked to have stumbled upon this Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri. As a flexitarian, I love that it's packed with all sorts of delicious veggies. The marinade is a real game-changer - that smoky paprika adds a nice depth of flavor. And let's not forget the chimichurri sauce, it's like a taste explosion in your mouth! I can already imagine pairing this with a cold Dutch beer, like a Heineken or Amstel. The only thing that would make it better is if it were a Dutch stew or soup, but I guess that's just my love for stamppot and hachee talking. All in all, I'd say this recipe is a must-try for anyone looking for a flavorful and adventurous meal. Pro tip: don't be afraid to get creative with the veggies, throw in some Dutch favorites like carrots or potatoes and see what happens!

    I must commend the creator of this Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri recipe for its bold and vibrant flavors, reminiscent of a festive Argentinean asado. Although my gastronomic inclinations typically veer towards the heartier Nordic cuisine, with its rich meatballs and succulent gravlax, I found the grilled vegetables and tangy chimichurri sauce to be a delightful departure from my usual fare. The preparation time of 30-40 minutes was reasonable, and the end result was well worth the effort. The smokiness of the grilled vegetables paired nicely with the herby notes of the chimichurri, making for a satisfying and flavorful dish. While it may not be a staple in my usual culinary repertoire, I would not hesitate to prepare this recipe again for a gathering of friends or a special occasion.

  • SPetrov78

    This Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri recipe is good, but not very filling. I like that it has many vegetables. The chimichurri sauce is also nice, not too spicy. I would add more meat next time, maybe some beef or chicken. The preparation is not very difficult, but it takes some time. Overall, I would recommend this recipe to people who like vegetables and not too spicy food.

    As I wandered through the flavors of this Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri, I found myself reminiscing about the vibrant markets of KrakΓ³w, where the scent of freshly baked pierogi wafted through the air. While this Argentine-inspired dish didn't quite satisfy my cravings for traditional Polish comfort food, its grilled vegetables and herby chimichurri sauce transported me to a sunny afternoon by the Vistula River. The smoky undertones of the portobello mushrooms and bell peppers were a pleasant surprise, much like discovering a hidden gem in the winding streets of Kazimierz. However, I couldn't help but feel that a hearty serving of bigos or a plate of pan-seared pierogi ruskie would have been the perfect accompaniment to this dish. Alas, as I navigate the delicate balance of my high cholesterol, I appreciate the thoughtful use of olive oil and the variety of vegetables on display. While this recipe may not be a staple in my culinary repertoire, it's a lovely tribute to the beauty of grilled vegetables, and I can almost imagine the chimichurri sauce as a poetic whisper of fresh herbs and spices.

    As I pondered the Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri, I found myself contemplating the intersection of cultural heritage and culinary innovation. This Argentine-inspired dish, with its vibrant medley of marinated vegetables and tangy chimichurri sauce, resonated deeply with my appreciation for traditional Scandinavian cuisine, while also showcasing the beauty of cross-cultural exchange. The smoky undertones of the grilled vegetables, reminiscent of a summer's day spent foraging for wild mushrooms in the Nordic forests, harmonized exquisitely with the herby notes of the chimichurri. This dish is a testament to the power of food to transcend borders and evoke a sense of shared human experience. While not a traditional Scandinavian dish, per se, it speaks to the universal language of flavor and community that underlies all culinary traditions.

    ### A Deliciously Halal and Internationally-Inspired Dish I was excited to try this Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri recipe, given its international inspiration and halal-friendly ingredients. As someone who loves exploring new cuisines, especially from Ethiopia and Morocco, I appreciated the Argentine twist in this dish. #### Preparation and Ingredients The recipe's use of olive oil, red wine vinegar, and smoked paprika in the marinade was a great start. I ensured that the red wine vinegar used was halal-certified, and I was pleased to find that all the ingredients fit within my dietary requirements. The variety of vegetables, including portobello mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion, was also a plus. #### Grilling and Chimichurri Sauce The grilling process was straightforward, and I enjoyed the slightly charred texture that resulted from cooking the vegetables over medium-high heat. The chimichurri sauce, made with fresh parsley, oregano, garlic, and red pepper flakes, added a tangy and herby flavor that complemented the grilled vegetables nicely. #### Room for Improvement While I enjoyed the dish, I might consider adding some Moroccan or Ethiopian spices to give it an extra boost of flavor. Perhaps some cumin, coriander, or berbere spice could enhance the overall taste experience. #### Conclusion Overall, I would recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a flavorful and internationally-inspired dish that fits within a halal diet. With some minor adjustments to suit my taste preferences, this Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri could become a staple in my kitchen.

    I appreciate the effort that went into creating this Vegetable Churrasco with Chimichurri recipe. The combination of marinated vegetables and tangy chimichurri sauce sounds quite appealing. As a pescatarian who enjoys trying new recipes, I find the use of smoked paprika and Argentine-inspired flavors to be intriguing. However, I would like to note that the recipe does not include any seafood, which is suitable for my mild allergy to shellfish.
