Chimichurri
I can not quit chimichurri. I think it has something to do with the FACT that this tastes delicious on 92% of all foods on this earth. Does it replace Sriracha? I dare not compare the two, as cows and balloons are not the same things.
The complex flavor from the freshness of the herbs and raw garlic bite hide how something so deliciously addicting can be made in minutes. There are many tasty versions of this concoction; the versatility being another reason why this is for everyone. Drizzle this chimichurri on some tofu, potatoes, or steak. Hopefully, this version inspires you to make your own version too.
