The prime of grilling season is here! As summer progresses and we move into fall, I am sure you will have plenty or chicken, steak, pork and seafood hit your grill. Have you found yourself in a rut and looking for a new condiment to top your grilled entrees? Try this Chimichurri to accompany any meat you pull off the grill. This Argentinian condiment has a robust herbal flavor that has a bit of a sour tang to it, making it a great for any type of meat that you may be serving at your tailgate or family grill out. It is most traditionally seen with beef, but Sally and I have enjoyed it on a wide variety of proteins that you can put on the grill. Like with a pesto, you can adjust this recipe to your taste. Feel free to add more or less garlic and substitute cilantro for some of the basil.
