Cilantro Chimichurri
Fresh cilantro leaves are common in South Asian chutneys and salads, in Chinese and Thai dishes and in Mexican cooking – particularly in salsas and guacamole. Chimichurri, a fresh herb condiment from Argentina, is traditionally made with parsley and is most often used as a sauce over grilled steak. This cilantro version packs a punch, and like the original, can also be used as a marinade for steak, chicken or seafood.
