This garlic scape chimichirri is beautifully piquant and perfectly tangy.

Chimichurri is one of my favourite sauces (second after pesto!). It is bright and flavourful, loaded with nutrients and adds a tangy kick to any meal.

I mentioned in my last recipe that I published that my aunt gifted me with a TON of garlic scapes! I had 2 full bags and had never worked with them before so I needed to think about how I was going to use this precious and seasonal ingredient!

Chimichurri is an uncooked Argentinian sauce that is used both in cooking and as a condiment for grilled meats. The tang and acidity of the sauce cuts through the fattiness of meats and this creates balance AND an orgasm on your in your mouth. Good combo, right?

recipe notes:

• If you find this recipe to be too acidic, feel free to add a little bit of raw honey to balance out the acidity.
• I chose to keep this sauce a little bit chunky you can also completely puree it if that better suits your preference!
