Churrasco
with Chimichurri

One of our guests’ favourites in Nicaragua? Churrasco with Chimichurri, this all so mouth-watering recipe. Indeed, churrasco translates to “grilled meat” from Spanish. The green marinade sauce called Chimichurri has the best seasoning. Undoubtedly, best enjoyed with rice and vegetables or with traditional plantain chips!

Chimichurri represents an uncooked herb sauce that originated in Argentina. It was later adopted by other American countries such as Nicaragua, Costa Rica and even Brasil.
