CHIMICHURRI SALSA

Chef Mariano Araya, the Executive Chef of Casa Mariano's Restaurant in Miami, FL, has curated this version.

In this version of chimichurri, we started hydrating the dry ingredients with the vinegar, then chop everything with a knife rather than a processor because you want to keep as many juices from the garlic and parsley as you can. Then, we let it rest overnight or 24 hours to let the sauce release all its flavor.

Argentina's favorite chimichurri is an uncooked sauce used principally on grilled meat. Argentine in its origins, chimichurri is typically made of finely-chopped parsley, minced garlic, oregano, and vinegar – though there are regional variations, such as Uruguay adding red pepper flakes for an added kick.
