Chimichurri is a fresh condiment used in Argentina and very much loved all around the world, the truth is that this relish or parsley sauce can go on everything and is the perfect one to make during BBQ season. It is an uncooked sauce traditionally prepared with finely chopped parsley, dried oregano, minced garlic, olive oil, vinegar and a pinch of salt. Everything is mixed together and left to rest before using.Â
