Description
Chimichurri is one of the best-known sauces in Argentine cuisine and is simply a must at any good barbecue there. This aromatic herb sauce, made from fresh parsley, garlic, vinegar and olive oil, brings freshness, flavour and a hint of tang to the plate. Traditionally, chimichurri is served with grilled beef, but it goes just as well with chicken, fish, vegetables or crusty bread. Best of all, it’s easy to make and takes just a few minutes. With just a few ingredients, you can create a richly fragrant sauce that enhances any dish. Once prepared, let it stand for a short while – and the perfect accompaniment to barbecued dishes and Mediterranean cuisine is ready. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
