Wild Garlic Chimichurri Sauce
This sauce is a take on a traditional Argentinian Chimichurri with the addition of fresh wild garlic leaves for extra punch. This sauce is perfect for grilled meats, and the herbs and red wine vinegar really cut through and cleanse the palate. For another take on this, swap out the wild garlic for mint, and add 1 tsp of honey for a great accompaniment for grilled lamb.
