Chimichurri sauce is a South American sauce that goes well on any meat at all, but particularly well on richer meats like lamb, beef, or pork. It’s particularly good as a sauce on tacos!

Although it is originally of Argentinian origin we tend to eat it as a part of our Mexican fiesta nights.

Ingredients

• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 1 red chilli pepper (jalapeño works)
• 3–4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced or finely chopped
• ½ cup red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
• ½ cup finely chopped cilantro
• ¼ cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
• 2 tbsp. finely chopped oregano
• ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Method

Blend all the ingredients in a food processor, and then chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
