Method

This vibrant green Argentinian sauce works well with barbecued steaks, chicken or lamb. Drizzle over meat on a platter, or serve in individual pots for dipping.
Place the herbs, spices, garlic, eschalot and olive oil in a food processor and blend until combined. Stir in the red-wine vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
This sauce will keep, refrigerated and covered with a little olive oil, for up to four days.
