chimichurri sauce comes from Argentina and it’s said that stands for ‘give-me-curry’ or in other words ‘give me sauce-seasoning’. people there eat it mostly with red meat but here’s what; today I moved in my new house, so when you have to finish up some many things you’re happy to have a jar with chimichurri sauce, a nice baguette, some tomatoes..

Tip!

• You can add slightly extra olive oil and this way keep it in your fridge for a couple of days more. In general it should be good for max. 2-3 days.
• Apart from serving it with grilled meat or as a ‘meze‘ with some bread, you can also use this sauce to marinate your meat before your cook it!
