Chimichurri
Chimichurri is a vibrant sauce made from Italian parsley, garlic, chili, and bell pepper marinated in olive oil and combined with sherry and red wine vinegars. The final blend yields a smooth, herbaceous paste with a tangy, mildly spicy kick. This versatile condiment is traditionally used to complement grilled meats but can also enhance vegetables and breads.
