At Fugazzeta Las Vegas, we take pride in offering authentic Argentinian flavors, and no flavor speaks louder than Chimichurri. This zesty sauce is a cornerstone of Argentinian cuisine, and here at Fugazzeta, it’s more than just a condiment – it’s an experience.
What Is Chimichurri?
Chimichurri is a vibrant green sauce (with a red variant in some regions) made with fresh parsley, garlic, oregano, vinegar, olive oil, and other spices for flavors. It’s the perfect balance of tangy, garlicky, and slightly spicy notes, elevating dishes like grilled meats, empanadas, and even pizza.
At Fugazzeta, we craft our Chimichurri in-house using an original recipe that captures the heart and soul of Argentina. We believe that when you pair our signature dishes, like our Carne Salteña empanadas or Beef of 10, with Chimichurri, you experience a perfect harmony of flavors.
The History Behind Chimichurri
While its exact origins remain a bit mysterious, Chimichurri is widely recognized as an essential part of Argentina's culinary heritage. One popular theory suggests the sauce was brought to Argentina by Basque settlers in the 19th century, adapting their sauces to include local ingredients.
The name “chimichurri” itself might have roots in the Basque word “tximitxurri,” meaning “a mixture of things.” Others claim it’s a playful linguistic twist influenced by early British or Irish settlers. Regardless of its etymology, one thing is certain: Chimichurri embodies the spirit of Argentina – bold, fresh, and versatile.
