chimichurri sauce (argentina)

San Diego
Updated on Jul 14, 2018

Chimichurri is a delicious and versatile sauce, that's traditionally served with grilled steak and is an essential part of an Argentinian parrillada or barbecued mixed grill. But, it goes great with chicken and fish, too! It's a "must" with grilled chorizo sausages. Chimichurri also works well as a marinade and gives a pop of flavor to vegetables. This is a very forgiving recipe - everyone messes with the proportions to their taste. That's quite ok!!!
