An uncooked sauce used for grilled meats, chimichurri has roots in both Argentina and Uruguay. Upon tasting, you'll predominantly get notes of parsley and garlic. It's amazing on grilled steak, lamb chops, burgers, shrimp, salmon -- you name it.

Tips

JC's note: To make this recipe, you should use both fresh garlic and fresh parsley. The recipe calls for 1 bunch of parsley, which you can easily find in the fresh herb section of your local grocery. I find that both flat-leaf and curly parsley work well for this recipe. Flat-leaf parsley has a stronger flavor, while curly parsley is more muted; depending on the extent to which you love parsley, choose accordingly. Lastly, I highly recommend investing in a food processor, as they have a multitude of uses in the kitchen. That said, if you don't have one, a blender absolutely does the job for this recipe!

Y’all come back now, ya hear?

My best,

JC
