Power up your snacks with this nutrient-packed umami spread for crackers, sandwiches, pasta, and more.
Servings 2 Cup(s)

Ingredients
  

  • Several cups fresh chickweed, washed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1–3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon crushed black or white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or other vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce

    Adjust proportions of each ingredient as you wish. More chickweed results in a greener, thinner sauce.

This chimichurri is a versatile sauce that is great over grilled meats but also adds a flavor punch when tossed with roasted veggies. My version is a zero-waste recipe that swaps out the parsley to make the most of in-season spicy radish greens, using their bite to complement the heat of jalapeno and the fresh cilantro.
