🌿 Legendary Chimichurri: A Bold Heritage Reimagined for Keto


Chimichurri is traditionally crafted with parsley, oregano, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil.

Few sauces carry the legendary status of chimichurri—a 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 necessity—flavorful, 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, chimichurri’s sharp acidity, fresh herbs, and subtle heat elevate everything from beef and poultry to vegetables.



šŸ§„ 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 vegetables—making 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 version—some chunky, some smooth, some with a fiery kick.


In Argentina and Brazil, it’s a must-have at weekend asadosĀ (barbecues), bringing people together around fire, food, and flavor.

Chef Janine Lechuga now brings the time-honored chimichurri sauce to your table—perfectly 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.


It’s paired with a colorful medley of grilled vegetables—Italian squash, asparagus, carrots, and Brussels sprouts—offering 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 caulimash—a rich, cheesy cauliflower mash that offers the comfort of mashed potatoes without the carbs.


This is heritage cuisine, redefined for the low-carb lifestyle.
