I am usually never negative in tone but cooking is near and dear to me. I am actually Cuban and grew up in the restaurant business. How can you call this a Cuban Chimichurri sauce if: 1) it has soy sauce 2) Chimichurri is from Argentina Give credit where credit is due. The Argentinians. Aside from that, I make a traditional Argentinian Chimichurri sauce and it’s amazing. Please stay true to the origin of things - they deserve the credit. I make it all the time for my friends and family and they love it!
I was really impressed, ive made this the easy way and now this way. I like this better honestly I thought to myself soy sauce hmmm I don’t know about that but after adding all ingredient s it actually had an outstanding flavor. I had to substitute white wine vinegar only because I didn’t have white wine basalmic other then that had everything really full of flavor!!!
The flavor of this sauce was amazing. It was a little spicy for my liking but my husband LOVED it. I think next time, I don't think I would change anything in the ingredients, just maybe wouldn't use as much :) We served it on grilled chicken.
Very good. My husband said that this is the best sauce I've ever made. It goes great with chicken too!
This recipe blew me away with flavor! It was awesome! I tried this on grilled steak and the next day on chicken. It was great on both. I used regular balsamic vinegar and gluten free soy sauce due to ingredients I had available. My husband joked he could drink the sauce it was that good! We will be making this again and soon.
awesome flavor!
Holy flavor!!! This is amazing on flank steak tacos. -Lesleigh Baden
So delicious! I like to mix with fat free sour cream & put on everything. This is a great low calorie flavor enhancer for people watching calories. Using dark balsamic still gave it an awesome flavor. Haven't tried with the white vinegar.
This was excellent - a little spicy, but balanced with sweetness.
