Chimichurri sauce
The origins of chimichurri sauce are a bit of a mystery. Some say it hails from Argentina, while others claim it was created in Uruguay. What we do know is that this zesty, flavorful sauce is a staple in South American cuisine.
Chimichurri is typically made with a blend of parsley, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Some recipes also call for additional ingredients like cumin, oregano, or shallots. The sauce is commonly used as a marinade for grilled meat, but it can also be used as a dipping sauce or stirred into soups or stews.
Whether you enjoy chimichurri on steak, chicken, or vegetables, there’s no doubt that this sauce is a delicious addition to any meal. And with its bright green color and tangy flavor, it’s also a beautiful way to liven up any plate.
