This carrot top chimichurri is so easy, fresh and delicious - great on steak, pork chops, chicken, and so much more! Use up carrot tops in this insanely delicious sauce!
I am not always a huge sauce person- I love fresh, delicious food, without a lot of additives. (I'm respectfully ignoring the fact I could literally top everything I eat in cheese... we'll let that topping slide in this soliloquy...)
I DO love really tasty, earthy, and tart sauce full of flavor.
And for me? Chimichurri totally fits the bill.
Chimichurri is so delicious- a little heat, a little bitter, some earthy notes - and it goes great with all sorts of meats.
Chimichurri is one of my favorite sauces- and it is even better with a big helping of fresh carrot tops inside!
If you're at a loss at what to do with carrot tops (which are totally edible and delicious) like I often am, this carrot top chimichurri is a great recipe! You can also make a big batch and freeze or can it!
This recipe is perfect with these Chimichurri Pork Chops- be sure to get the recipe!
And of course, if you need a great side- these carrots are perfection!
