Lime and Basil Chimichurri
Recipe by Amanda Haas, culinary director of Williams-Sonoma and author of The Anti-Inflammation Cookbook (Chronicle Books, 2016). This Argentine-style herb sauce, says Amanda, "is like an obsession for me. I love the vibrant color and how versatile it is--you can take whatever herbs you have in the fridge and throw them in."
