Chimichurri is a staple condiment in Argentine cuisine, typically made with a blend of fresh parsley, garlic, oregano, chiles, vinegar, and olive oil. It’s bright green and has a chunky, herbaceous texture that adds a burst of flavor to any dish. This take on chimichurri involves mashing fresh raspberries—instead of garlic and herbs—to create a coarse texture and tart flavor that’s perfectly balanced with the heat from Calabrian chiles. Shallots, which get lightly pickled in lime juice and olive oil, add a sweet and pungent bite to the mix. This red raspberry chimichurri is an ode to summer, and it pairs wonderfully with grilled meats like pork chops, chicken thighs, or steak.
