This herb-based salsa is extremely popular, especially in Argentina and Uruguay. It has many applications, mainly for meat, but it is also great with fish, grilled vegetables, eggs, baked potatoes, or even empanadas (turnovers).
The base for Chimichurri is parsley, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, chili flakes and garlic, which is optional. Personally, I like to mix in some basil, cilantro, mint and oregano.
It keeps really well in the fridge, and I assure you that you will find many ways to use it! Another great way to use it when grilling kebabs!
