Chimichurri sauce is an easily made fresh herb sauce with a bright, spicy flavor. It comes from Central and South American cuisine and is traditionally used with beef, as either a marinade or a sauce.
And it is lovely with beef, but it’s also soooo pretty and has such a great flavor there is no reason it can’t be used with veggies, poultry, fish, whatever you want. I particularly like it with spicy sweet potatoes. 😀
Just throw everything into a blender. Voila!
Ingredients
Method
- Put everything in a blender and blitz until it turns into a liquid. Makes about 300ml (10oz).
Notes
It's ok to use a large portion of fresh herb stems - there's tons of flavor in the stems. No need to only use the leaves.
Some recipes use only parsley, some use parsley, oregano, cilantro and/or basil. It's OK to use lemon instead of lime. The water is in the recipe mostly to give the blender something to "churn" with.
