Chimichurri
Chimichurri is a fresh, herb-based sauce blending parsley, cilantro, mint, oregano, and jalapeño with garlic, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. It offers a bright, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor that complements grilled meats, fish, or chicken. Its texture is slightly coarse yet saucy, achieved by pulsing herbs in a food processor with oil and vinegar. This versatile sauce can be stored refrigerated for up to three weeks, making it handy for multiple meals.
