Chimmi-Churri
Sheila Kurtz, of Graphology Consulting a handwriting analyst company, and I recently had an excellent meeting and brainstorming session to discuss how we can collaborate in the future. Do you know what your handwriting says to the world about you? Perhaps the guests at your rehearsal dinner or bridal shower would like to find out. This would be a beautiful table setting, place card or favor and an excellent way to get conversations started.
As I was leaving her office, she gave me a bottle of Gaucho Green Chimmi Churri Sauce. What is chimmi churri sauce? Good question!
Chimmi-Churri is the culinary soul-sauce of the grasslands of Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and the cattle grazing territories of Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. Chimmi-Churri was developed by gauchos [cowboys] who used it to tenderize their lean, grass-fed beef. The natural enzymes in parsley and acidic qualities of vinegar give added flavor to all meats. Some call Chimmi-Churri the Catsup of Argentina — a bottle or bowl of it is on every table.
So when trying to come up with a menu for a small midweek dinner I hosted recently, I found inspiration in the bottle. I let the chicken breasts bath in the green sauce all afternoon, then just cooked them on the stove and served them with roasted potatoes, green beans and salad. My midweek dinner was a success!
