Chimichurri is a green sauce used for grilled meat, originally from the Rio de la Plata, Argentina. It is typically made with vibrant, fresh herbs. But for this quick version, I used dried herbs. I was working with what I had on hand. It still turned out delicious. I made it to go with these Beef and Chorizo Empanadas. If you have fresh herbs on hand, use them. A good rule of thumb is that 1 teaspoon of dried herbs is equal to 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs.
