Chimchurri sauce is an Argentinian classic of debatable origin that is used principally as an accomaniment to grilled meats. While the Argentians claim it as their own, it may be from the Basque Country, Quechua or even … Ireland. The name may come from an Irish chap called Jimmy McCurry who was scratching around Argentina for ingredients for a steak sauce, or it is from the Spanish ‘tximitxurri.’
