The slightly spicy, slightly tangy and very oniony sauce is the perfect companion to anything from grilled vegetables to baked savory bites.

Originally, the chimichurri sauce comes from Argentina, but no one is certain where the actual name comes from. Typically used for grilled meat, the sauce has started gaining popularity among the meatless dishes as well. Traditionally, the sauce contains finely diced parsley, garlic, oregano and vinegar, but there are variations throughout different countries in South America.

This recipe here is my own interpretation of the sauce, where I have added a few things for an extra zing!

requires a simple list of ingredients:

  • parsley

  • coriander

  • garlic

  • red onion

  • apple cider vinegar

  • olive oil

  • spices
