Chimichurri
Recipe by Executive Chef, John McConnell
At a recent Wine Club release event, Chef John made a Chimichurri sauce that received rave reviews. We convinced him to share the recipe. It’s great on grilled steak or portobello mushrooms, tossed on roasted potatoes, or as a dip accompaniment to just about anything!
