Chimichurri is a zesty sauce originating from Argentina featuring parsley, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, vinegar and olive oil. Chimichurri is commonly served with grilled meats - adding a burst of flavour and freshness.
Not only fresh and delicious, the herbs in chimichurri are packed with health promoting polyphenols that counter inflammation and oxidative stress. So if you want to bring some balance to your meal, be bold with the chimichurri.
For a straight up classic...
And for some greater detail on the culinary 'science' involved, plus some alternatives...
As part of a nutritionally rich, whole health lifestyle, at The Whole Health Practice we advocate enjoying polyphenol rich herbs (and spices) as a regular part of one’s diet. While many herbs may have shown some positive results for specific health outcomes, enjoy a variety of whole foods that work in synergy to promote maximum health, and, taste!
