"Basil Chimichurri...According to tradition, Chimichurri is made from finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, vegetable oil or olive oil, white or red vinegar, and red pepper flakes; it's Argentinian in origin. This is a twist on the traditional green sauce. It's a great accompaniment to meats...and I could imagine it tossed with some pasta, too...."
