Chimichurri Sauce
A traditional Latin American sauce, chimichurri can be used as a marinade and works great as a dipping sauce for grilled shrimp, steak, lamb, chicken kebabs, even pita chips or french fries. While many versions of chimichurri use mint, this one uses oregano and parsley to create a unique sauce that is both delicious and versatile.
