What is Chimichurri Sauce?
Originating in Argentina and Uruguay, Chimichurri is an uncooked condiment that is fantastic on all types of meat. It can be added to meat in various ways — such as brushed or spooned onto food, served on the side, or it makes an amazing marinade.
This green sauce is herby, garlicky, tangy and spicy all at the same time. The condiment is similar to pesto, but it’s made of parsley and red wine vinegar. Loaded with fresh herbs, there’s no sugar added, so it’s healthier than many condiments (like BBQ sauce).
