Only on Saturdays from 9am to 1pm at Yorba Linda Farmers Market
I first tried Pablo Kim's chimichurri at the Yorba Linda Farmers Market, sampling all three flavors of this famous Argentinian condiment. Traditionally used as a sauce, dip, dressing, or marinade, it's packed with fresh herbs (and no cilantro--thankfully!). The original flavor was solid, the spicy a bit intense for me, but the mild? Perfect! When Pablo said it's good on everything, he wasn't kidding. It's like a vinaigrette but incredibly herbaceous, with parsley as the standout.
I picked up a small jar for $8, thinking it would last a while, but I was so heavy-handed that it only made it through three meals! Now I wish I'd gone for the 16 oz jar for $18. I've put it on everything from grilled cheese to breakfast burritos, hard-boiled eggs, and even a bowl of short rib pho at All About Pho! The tender beef paired *so* well with the chimichurri--it even took my soup to a new level.
And if you're wondering why a Korean guy is selling chimichurri, it's because Pablo was born and raised in Argentina and moved to California in his 20s. He speaks Spanish and Korean fluently (though he jokes about his language skills). He also mentioned that you can find him at the Ladera Ranch Farmers Market on Sundays and the Chino Hills Farmers Market on Wednesdays.
Trust me, grab the 16 oz jar--you won't regret it! read more
