Chimichurri Chimichurri Chim Chim Churri!

What is the purpose of food? In a world full of diverse diets, questions of quality, and preferences of flavor, texture and beauty it is difficult at times to not obsessed over food. Food is meant to nourish and fuel our bodies. That's it. It is important to most people that mealtime be a pleasant experience, but obsessing over complexity and originality is really unnecessary (unless centering your life around food is really what you want to do with your life). 
Every now and then I discover a new recipe that changes my attitude toward food. This recipe has reminded me that simple nutritious meals are often the best and there is no shame in them. A simple sauce can heighten a meal from hum-drum to Yum-nom. This sauce is a variation of the Chimichurri Sauce from Diana's The Humble Kitchen. I hope you enjoy it!
