What Is Chimichurri? A Beginner’s Guide to This Argentinian Classic
Discover the bold flavours of Chimichurri, the staple Argentinian sauce taking Australian BBQs by storm. Learn about its origins, key ingredients, and how Ma' Bueno elevates the tradition with fresh, authentic taste.

Chimichurri Origins:
Chimichurri is a vibrant, herbaceous sauce that hails from Argentina, where it's traditionally served with grilled meats in a style known as "asado." Its exact origins are debated, but many believe it was created by gauchos (South American cowboys) who needed a flavourful, easy-to-make sauce to accompany their fire-roasted meats.

Key Ingredients:

  • Parsley: The heart of Chimichurri, providing a fresh, grassy flavour.
  • Garlic: Adds a sharp, pungent kick.
  • Olive Oil: For a rich, smooth base.
  • Vinegar: Balances the richness with acidity.
  • Chilli Flakes: For a subtle heat (adjust to taste).
  • Oregano & Lemon Juice: Add earthy and bright notes.
