Cilantro Chimichurri

I once had some of this served over a very dry grilled steak at a bar in Austin. The meal wasn’t impressive, especially considering its price tag, but the chimichurri at least was incredible. My less-than-faithful recreation is equally delicious, although it omits the nightshades the original contained. I’ve also seen versions with a squeeze of lime juice, but I personally don’t like lime and prefer the garlic to shine. It’s a lovely complement to the cilantro. Feel free to experiment, though, if your tastes are different! My chimichurri is pictured here served over my Garlic Steak recipe for an extra dash of my favorite seasoning. It’s one of my favorite ways to punch up a simple meal.
Looking for Low-FODMAP Recipes?
The low-FODMAP diet is often prescribed for people with IBS or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), and there’s a huge overlap of that demographic with people with autoimmune disease. My e-book 28 Days of Low-FODMAP AIP combines both IBS- and autoimmune-friendly diets in a 28-day meal plan designed to jump start and simplify this often-challenging diet change. Just you wait: The meal plan includes 50 exclusive low-FODMAP recipes you won’t find on my website or anywhere else, with dishes like Chicken Vindalo, Jambalaya, and crispy, crunchy Tostones. You’ll be amazed at the variety of flavors still available to you! The ebook is available as a digital download for $9.99.
