4 steps
Prep:15min
Have you noticed that in so many cuisines there is a raw onion & vinegar dip or sauce?
Allow me tell you why :)
Firstly, onions soaked in vinegar is one of the most prominent immunity boosting remedy especially during change of season.
Secondly, acid and onions have been used for ages to cure food and tenderize protein sources like seafood & red meat.
Thirdly, it also cuts through the heaviness of fatty/oily food, hence it brightens a dish up with a healing effect on dampness according to Chinese Medicine as it helps with promoting circulation and drying out the dampness.
Fourthly, it’s delicious :)
So think of your fun & colorful chimichurri as your personal Patch Adams, it’s ok if you do not get the reference just a fun blast back to the 90s.
What vinegar to choose? Well there are so many, chimichurri
