CHIMICHURRI (ARGENTINEAN GARLIC SAUCE)
In Argentina, chimichurri is served with parrillada - a mixed grill of steak, chops, and sausages. Follow the Argentines' lead and serve this herb sauce spooned over just about any cut of grilled red meat. Chimichurri can also be paired with a sautéed chicken breast or a potato salad in need of some zip.

Steps:
- Finely chop the garlic on a cutting board. Sprinkle the salt over it and repeatedly scrape the flat side of the knife over the garlic to mash it to a paste. Scrape the garlic paste into a medium bowl. Add the parsley, oregano, carrot, pepper, chile flakes, and lemon zest and mix. Add the vinegar and water and mix again. Whisk in the oil. Taste and correct the seasonings, adding salt, vinegar, water, or chile flakes: the sauce should be highly seasoned. Chimichurri is delicious over any kind of grilled red meat.

ARGENTINEAN-STYLE RIBS WITH HOMEMADE CHIMICHURRI
Argentinean preparation is simple but is all about the cooking technique. These ribs cook better on a rotisserie as they self-baste for maximum flavor and juiciness. If you're going to cook this recipe on a grill, add some charcoal or hardwood to add more flavor to the ribs. If you do not have a rotisserie set-up, you can simply cook these directly on the grill. Allow the chimichurri to rest at least 2 hours before serving - this will allow time for the flavors to marry together. The chimichurri is a delicious spread that adds a zest to any Argentinian style dish, and this makes a great topping for the slow roasted ribs. This can also be a great topping for grilled chicken breast, lamb or fish.

Steps:
- For the chimichurri: Add the parsley, basil, oregano, onion, garlic, bell pepper, lime zest, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper to a food processor. Pulse together till your desired texture is reached. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- For the ribs: Set up a grill with charcoal. Once the coals are white-hot, place some smoked hardwood on top of the coals to create some smoke.
- Sprinkle the ribs liberally with the salt and pepper on both sides. If using a rotisserie, thread the ribs on spit/skewers so they are stacked up and threaded neatly.
- Once the fire has settled, place the ribs over the fire and turn on the rotisserie. Cook for 1 to 2 hours until desired doneness and the ribs have an internal temp of 190 degrees F. Serve immediately off the rotisserie with the chimichurri sauce.

- When rolling out the pastry, be sure to do so on a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the pastry from sticking and tearing.
- If you don't have time to make your own chimichurri sauce, you can use a store-bought version. However, be sure to choose a sauce that is made with fresh herbs and spices.
- To ensure that the sausage rolls are cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the center of one of the rolls. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the sausage rolls warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
