Usually paired with meat, chimichurri sauce plays off of grilled bass just as beautifully, as long as you use a light vinegar like champagne or rice wine, rather than balsamic. This comes together fast and adds a warmth to the cooler flavors of summer.

I've made chimichuri many times using recipes that very closely match this one. And the best advice is to allow the sauce to steep at room temperature for 3-4 hours. It is a heavenly delight!

Llyn McCoy

Use 1/2 c cilantro + 1'2 c flat leaf parsley

Holley Atkinson

Added a scant tablespoon of capers, delicious

brooke

Loved the lightness of this version. Swapped oregano out for cilantro and it was fantastic!

anonymouse

Made with garlic and let sit for about two hours as someone had recommended to let it sit for a few hours. Omitted the vinegar and replaced with more lime juice. Got rave reviews.

Seth

Cilantro instead of parsley, basil instead of oregano or both, jalapeño instead of red pepper.
