Recipe Notes

The real key to a great Chimichurri sauce is the fresh oregano. You can do this with dried oregano, but the fresh is really worth it. This is a pretty mild version, so if you like yours spicier, add another jalapeno (or two). Chimichurri is a bold flavor, so you will need something with a fairly bold flavor to pair it with, like salmon, pork, or flank steak.
