There are many theories about chimichurri's origins. Chimichurri is an Argentine sauce made from parsley, garlic, vinegar, oil, and other spices and used as a condiment on meat and/or vegetables.
Here are some theories for how the name chimichurri came to be:
- The word came into use when British soldiers invaded the Río de la Plata region around Buenos Aires in the 19th century and were captured. In this story, the captives mixed English, Spanish, and aboriginal words that sounded like "chimichurri." So they would say, "che-mi-curry," meaning "hey, give me my curry."
- In the Basque region of Spain, there is a sauce called "tximitxurri," which could mean "a mixture of several things in no particular order." Basque settlers arrived in the 19th century to Argentina so this is possible too.
- Some say it is derived from a mix-up of English from "Jimmy Curry" or Jimmy McCurry."
