WHAT IS CHIMICHURRI? IT’S A DELICIOUS ARGENTINEAN SAUCE TYPICALLY SERVED WITH BARBECUED AND GRILLED MEATS, BUT IF YOU ASK ME, IT TASTES AMAZING OVER ANYTHING!
Seriously, a good sauce makes all the difference in taking a boring meal and making it into something special. Part of my weekly meal prep routine is always to make one or two sauces that I can use to spruce up grilled veggies, protein, or use as a dip for a light and easy snack. This one takes 5 minutes to make and is so full of flavor; I am sure you are gonna love it!
Some of my favorite ways to use Chimichurri is to drizzle it over lamb chops, Grilled Paneer or Halloumi skewers, or over a nice warm kale salad sprinkled with toasted pine nuts, pomegranate seeds. Honestly, the options are endless with this versatile sauce. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
