If you aren’t acquainted with chimichurri sauce, you’re in for a treat. It originated in South America, and is divine over veggies of all kinds. Chimichurri sauce drizzled over corn on the cob is one delicious way to use it.
What is chimichurri? It’s an uncooked sauce (or you might call it a condiment or marinade) from Argentinian cuisine. There are red and green variations; this recipe is for the latter. It features lots of fresh herbs, notably parsley. It often includes garlic, plus lemon or vinegar. The recipe following also includes plenty of cilantro, as well. It’s a fantastic way to use up lots of fresh herbs when they’re at their most abundant. Find out more about chimichurri.
Vicki Brett-Gach, who contributed this recipe, says, “My version of chimichurri includes fresh basil and is oil free. Super herbaceous, bright green, lean and light, it’s tangy with fresh lime and flavor that enhances just about anything savory and plant-based.”
