Red Chimichurri
This is a red version of the classic Argentinean green chimichurri sauce. It is built on the basic green sauce, but here you add paprika and peppers to the mix. It can either be hand chopped, as I do here, or you can buzz it in a blender; if you do that, this will lighten up the color considerably.
