Quick Pantry Chimichurri
While it's not a traditional recipe for chimi, any combination of spicy and pungent ingredients makes a great sauce to accompany grilled meat.
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
- equal part chopped parsley use dried if needed
- equal part chopped cilantro use dried if needed
- equal part chopped green onions use dried if needed
- half part chopped jalapeno or other pepper like serrano, or dried red pepper flakes
- 1 clove garlic, chopped use dried if needed
- juice of 1/2 lime use any light-colored vinegar if you prefer
- pinch salt and pepper to taste
- dash olive oil
- pinch dried cumin
- pinch white sugar

If you use dried ingredients, add a few tablespoons of very hot water at the beginning to soften and bloom the flavors.
Set aside until ready to serve.
