/chi-mi-CHU-rri/

Herb and spice sauce originally from Argentina, now used across South America to dress grilled meats. Chimichurri — parsley, garlic, vinegar, oil — is the flavor that says 'asado' is ready. An Argentine without chimichurri at a barbecue is practically a national emergency.

Example

"Without chimichurri, the asado just isn't the same."

"I put chimichurri on the chicken and it was absolutely incredible."

/Sounds like 'chee-mee-CHOO-rree'/

A herb and garlic sauce that is the essential condiment of Argentine asado. Made from parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar, chimichurri is not optional at any proper Argentinean barbecue — it IS the barbecue.

Example

"Asado without chimichurri is just not complete."

"I made the chimichurri from scratch for the get-together."
