Looking to add a little zip to your grilled meat and vegetables? Try Argentine chimichurri sauce.
Although there are different versions, the basic sauce is a zesty combination of pepper, vinegar, garlic and parsley that can be used as a marinade or finishing sauce. Try spooning it onto grilled steak or mixing it into potato salad.
Here's a recipe, courtesy of McCormick & Co.:
Combine 1 cup of packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup red-wine vinegar, 3 garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into a food processor and puree.
Makes 8 servings.
