At almost every Migoni gathering you will find chimichurri on the table, usually alongside some beef empanadas. While most Argentinians while put it over grilled meats and empanadas, it is such a versatile sauce that tastes great with so many things. It’s super easy to make and pretty healthy too. Plus, I don’t know about you, but we can never seem to finish a bunch of parsley before it goes bad, so this is a great way to remedy that!
Here are some ideas of what chimichurri goes well with:
-Any grilled meats – chicken, beef, lamb, etc.
-Grilled shrimp
-Corn on the cob
-Roasted sweet potatoes
-Roasted cauliflower
-Mix with mayonnaise for a great sandwich spread
-On top of black bean soup
-Mixed with cherry tomatoes for a tasty tomato salad
-On top of avocado toast
Let us know what you use it on! We’d love to see your creations.
This is a very traditional Argentinian style Chimichurri, but you can also create your own variations with different herbs and spices. This recipe makes about 3/4 cup. It can be refrigerated for up to one week.
