It’s a great time in the garden to use your fresh herbs. This recipe uses parsley, oregano and cilantro. Traditionally, chimichurri is served with grilled meats as part of the Argentinian asado (or barbecue). It is absolutely delicious with grilled steaks and grilled chorizo sausage. There are other uses for this distinctive garlicky sauce. It makes a fantastic marinade for chicken, pork, or vegetables.
