Cook’s note: Originally from Argentina, chimichurri is traditionally used as a sauce or marinade for grilled meat, but some of our favorite applications include: spooned onto roasted veggies (especially potatoes!), atop rice or pasta, on fried or scrambled eggs, drizzled on pizza, mixed into salad dressing, or used as a dipping sauce for bread.
