Chimichurri
Photo: Johnny Autry; Styling: Mary Clayton Carl
Taste and Texture: This classic Argentinian meat condiment is bright, fresh, and tart, with a touch of spicy heat; thin-bodied but loaded with chopped herbs for vibrant "green" flavor. Try with: Grilled steak, chicken, or fish; roasted leg of lamb; roasted new potatoes, fingerling potatoes, or baby carrots; sandwiches as a dipping sauce; grilled bread; raw oysters on the half shell. To Your Health: A smidgen of heart-smart olive oil is the only significant source of fat.
