Chimichurri is more than just a really fun word, it's also a REALLY yummy sauce! According to Wikipedia, it orginated from Argentina and generally consists of culantro, garlic, olive oil, vinegar and red pepper flakes. Since culantro is hard to find in the states, many recipes substitute parsley instead, which is what I did. I also jazzed it up with some basil, onion and oregano. It was very flavorful and yummy on top of our pork chops. The chops were just simply sprinkled with salt and chipotle powder for some kick!
Chimichurri Sauce:
1/4 c extra-virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp red wine vinegar vinegar
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 c chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried onion
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper

Chimichurri is addicting. I could slather that stuff on most meats and be super happy.
