Mint and Pomegranate Chimichurri

Valentina P

Difficulty

•

Time 10"

If there was a sauce to rule all sauces, this might be it. Unlike a traditional Argentinian chimichurri, the flavors here are decidedly Middle-Eastern from the combination of fresh mint, pomegranate, walnuts, sumac, and garlic. Stir it all together with a base of olive oil until a thick, delicious paste is formed. This sauce adds tremendous flavor to simple proteins, grains, and roasted vegetables.
