Sweet Potato Bowl With Chimichurri(Argentina) image

Chimichurri has its roots in Argentina, where it is usually slathered over grilled meat. Here, it lends spicy, garlicky goodness to a hearty bowl of sweet potatoes and quinoa. For optimum flavor, use larger amount of spices. I have tweeked this just a tad. From Vegetarian Times.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy chimichurri sauce. Next time I'll use a milder sauce or make my own.
