Chimichurri herb blend adds an instant taste of Argentina to your meals. The spice blend is Pierre Arostéguy's interpretation of an Argentinian recipe he brought back from his travels. The addition of espelette pepper not only adds mouth-watering fruity heat, but also gives the chimichurri a distinctively Basque character.
Try mixing the chimichurri herb blend with olive oil and lemon juice, and brush over white fish before cooking, or use to marinade prawns. You can even add it to salad dressings.
Maison Arostéguy is a Basque institution. The Arostéguy family opened a unique grocery store in Biarritz in 1875, importing goods from all over the world. In the 1930s, their reputation for high-quality products even attracted famous musicians and actors. Photographs and keepsakes are still on display in the store today.
As a family of spice grinders, they also created their own spice blends. Current owner, Pierre Arostéguy, travels the globe looking for inspiration and rare ingredients. He is also passionate about promoting his native Basque food culture. Pierre sums up Maison Arostéguy's philosophy with the following phrase: 'For us, no table is good without generosity, creativity & conviviality'.
Ingredients: parsley, espelette pepper PDO (10%), oregano, basil, onions, garlic powder.
