Chimichurri is SO good. Flavor-packed, so very versatile, and absolutely delicious. I've been making batches of this and using it for all sorts of things - most recently simply spread with butter over fresh sourdough focaccia. YUM.

I love how food and flavor can be so inspiring and the many ways that we can [...]
