šæ Legendary Chimichurri: A Bold Heritage Reimagined for Keto

Few sauces carry the legendary status of chimichurriāa vibrant, herbaceous staple of Argentinian and Brazilian cuisine. Traditionally crafted with parsley, oregano, garlic, vinegar, and oil, this rustic blend dates back to the open-fire grills of Argentine gauchos. It was born out of necessityāflavorful, quick, and resilient enough to complement fire-charred meats.
Whether served over steak in a countryside cantina or spooned atop churrasco in Brazilian rodizio restaurants, chimichurriās sharp acidity, fresh herbs, and subtle heat elevate everything from beef and poultry to vegetables.
š§ A Sauce for More Than Just Steak

Chimichurri is beloved not only for its flavor but also for its flexibility. It pairs beautifully with pork, chicken, and roasted vegetablesāmaking it a perfect addition to keto-friendly meals.
Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, chimichurri supports digestion and metabolic health while delivering a bold, clean taste.
Every family has their own versionāsome chunky, some smooth, some with a fiery kick.
In Argentina and Brazil, itās a must-have at weekend asadosĀ (barbecues), bringing people together around fire, food, and flavor.
š§ Chef Janineās Comfort Keto⢠Twist


Chef Janine Lechuga now brings the time-honored chimichurri sauce to your tableāperfectly keto style. Her Argentinian Chimichurri Pork LoinĀ features slow-roasted, no-hormone, no-antibiotic pork medallions glazed in her bold chimichurri made with fresh herbs, garlic, and citrus.
Itās paired with a colorful medley of grilled vegetablesāItalian squash, asparagus, carrots, and Brussels sproutsāoffering smoky flavor, fiber, and nutrients in every bite. The dish is clean, satisfying, and rich in healthy fats, crafted for optimal taste and well-being.
For a perfect side, Chef Janine recommends her signature Romanoff-style baked caulimashāa rich, cheesy cauliflower mash that offers the comfort of mashed potatoes without the carbs.
This is heritage cuisine, redefined for the low-carb lifestyle.
