Chimichurri

Traditionally, Chimichurri is made with primarily fresh parsley and oregano.  We add cilantro when serving it with pork, and simply increase the parsley when serving with beef instead of adding the cilantro.  Both are delicious and zero carbs.

Chimichurri

South American countries, Argentina and Uruguay claim this bright sauce as their own to accompany grilled meats. Son and Chef "thejobert" paired it with Porchetta, and it was delicious. 0 carbs so enjoy as much as you want.
