Chimichurri - Argentina

Chimichurri sauce is an uncooked Argentinian condiment typically served with grilled meats, but it can also be used as a marinade, as a salad dressing, tossed with veggies, spread on sandwiches—the possibilities are endless. It comes in two versions: chimichurri verde (green) or chimuchurri rojo (red), though the green version is more universally well-known, made with finely minced parsley, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar and oregano. While recipes may vary slightly, one thing is for sure: it'll make your meals pop with color and flavor.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 bunch fresh parsley, finely minced
• 2 tbsp fresh oregano, finely minced
• 4 garlic cloves, pressed
• 1 bunch fresh chives, minced
• 1 small red chili pepper, seeded and stemmed, sliced thinly
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 cup (60g) olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended. Serve.
