CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

“I WOULD CRAWL OVER BROKEN GLASS FOR THAT CHIMICHURRI SAUCE”

When a dinner guest says that, it’s time to share!

bowl-of-chimichuri-sauce Until this summer, I never really cared one way or another about chimichurri sauce. But, one summer night at a friends’ country house, I experienced culinary nirvana. Their daughter, Becca Cowley, a talented chef, caterer and all round fabulous foodie, whipped up a batch to accompany grilled rack of lamb (check out her Instagram feed betterusebutter, if you want to drool). Well, the moment I took a bite, I became obsessed! The combination was a match made in heaven! chimichurri sauce on lamb racks

Tangy, fresh and delicious. Chimichurri sauce is great as an accompaniment, but it also doubles as a marinade. In Argentina where it originated, Chimichurri sauce is a staple with any grilled meat. It’s the perfect sauce to pair with just about anything you barbecue, including fish or even Tempeh. It’s especially good with meat because the acidity of the sauce compliments and cuts the richness and fattiness of the meat.

Most recipes call for red wine vinegar, but sometimes I like to use apple cider vinegar which is said to have more health benefits. It reduces bloating and balances your body’s pH levels.

Below is the printable recipe. Trust me, it’s SO EASY! Also, check out the link to my post with the video demo. I’m still working out LOTS of glitches. So please forgive, and, if nothing else, have a good laugh witnessing baby steps on this journey while I attempt to shoot, light and edit it all by my lonesome.
