Chimichurri

Raw green sauce of Argentina and Uruguay, the classic accompaniment to asado. It combines chopped parsley, garlic, oregano, chilli flakes, vinegar and oil, sometimes cilantro, into a sharp, herbaceous condiment that lifts grilled meats. Served on the side or as a marinade, it shapes South American barbecue service and accompanies beef cuts in the refined Argentine cuisine of palace hotels.
