Chimichurri Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (30 g) fresh parsley, finely chopped

2. Grill the Squid: Place the squid onto the grill or pan. Flip occasionally while basting with sobrasada butter until the squid is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to rest.
3. Prepare the Chimichurri: Combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, shallots, herbs, chopped chili, olive oil, sherry vinegar, and salt in a bowl. Stir well to combine. Let the mixture rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Optional: blend.
