Chimichurri Sauce
Chimichurri sauce is a traditional herb sauce from Uruguay & Argentina. Aromatic with the fresh parsley, but rich and piquant from the olive oil and chillis. It works perfectly with a well-charred steak and vegetables.
Hand-chop instead of blend
Chimichurri should be chunky herbs in oil, rather than an emulsified and smooth sauce. Therefore hand-chopping is preferred.
If you choose to use a food processor, just pulse gently.
