Some ingredients for the BBQ

When I read the title of this dish I instantly want to break out in song! You know, the one where Dick Van Dyke, through a plot device, has conveniently become a chimney sweep?

If you do resist this temptation then you will discover that ”Chimichurri” actually means “a bunch of random ingredients put together in no particular order.”

If you know me, then you’ll know that this perfectly reflects my cooking style!

It is also traditionally used in Argentina as a marinade or condiment. Meat is very popular there and it works on almost any type of meat or even fish.

Ingredients and flavours may vary, but what’s typical is fresh herbs, olive oil, and some acidity.

A good chimichurri can be held in the fridge for a couple of weeks (as long as it hasn’t touched meat yet).

By removing the seeds from the jalapenos in this particular recipe, they can be used a little more liberally by adding a lot of flavour without as much heat.

Happy grilling!
