Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chorizo — Choose a high-quality chorizo for the best flavor. If unavailable, you can substitute with spicy Italian sausage.
- Chimichurri sauce — You can make your own chimichurri sauce by blending together fresh parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and spices. Alternatively, store-bought chimichurri sauce works well too.
Tips & Tricks
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes while sautéing the onion and garlic.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or zucchini for extra color and nutrients.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Serving advice
Serve the Argentinian-style Krpice sa zeljem hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color. This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or a side of roasted vegetables.
Presentation advice
To elevate the presentation, arrange the pasta on individual plates and top with a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil. Drizzle a little extra chimichurri sauce around the plate for a vibrant touch.
