This traditional Argentinian sauce has been made and re-made several times since our south America trip this year, and works a treat for marinading all sorts of things, dressing salads and roast veggies, and for upping your sauce game at the next dinner party.

Traditionally made with lots of oil, this is the “light” version, but feel free to dollop in a whack of olive oil if so inclined.
