Argentine Marinade

An Argentine asado or barbecue is not authentic without this delicious marinade called chimichuri. 
it is similar to a multi spiced vinaigrette and is given an earthier tone with the addition of saffron. 
I serve this with poultry or shellfish and brush it on top of garlic bread before toasting.
