Chimichurri (Hot Vinegar-Parsley Sauce)

Wednesday, 11 November 2009

Description

There is a minor debate about whether or not this Argentinian sauce 
should contain chile peppers. As usual, there is no real answer because 
cooks tend to add them or not, according to taste. This sauce is served 
with broiled, roasted, or grilled meat and poultry.
