Wood-fired Chimichurri

By: The Local Palate
Wood-fired Chimichurri Sauce

Executive chef Dung “Junior” Vo of Noko in Nashville is bringing a subtly spicy rendition to wood-fired chimichurri, a traditionally South American sauce. Using an abundance of herby ingredients like cilantro (including the stems) and parsley, plus a kick of serrano pepper, Vo balances the heat with fresh lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar.
