Why is my chimichurri sour?
Chimichurri sauce can taste bitter either because the parsley has a bitter taste and tainted the sauce, or because the oil was over-mixed. Because of the composition of oil, if you mix it at too high a speed, then the polyphenols break away from the fatty acids, resulting in a bitter taste in your chimichurri.
Why is it called chimichurri?
