Something for the Grill- Sun dried Tomato Chimichurri
In the Beach Blanket Bistro cookbook I gave my take on the classic chimichurri, a parsley based sauce for grilled steaks and other meats. With grilling season in full swing and with so many people giving positive feed back on my original sauce, I decided to play in the kitchen and come up with a less traditional chimichurri.
This new heartier sauce is great on steaks, but I have also used it on grilled chicken, mahi mahi and honestly you can use it as a condiment on just about anything you can grill.
