Chimichurri is one of the most delicious and versatile sauces around. It’s traditionally served with grilled steak and is an essential part of the Argentinian parilla, but it goes great with pork, chicken, and fish too.

Chimichurri works well as a marinade and is also delicious on vegetables. The chimichurri sauce made the perfect cooking liquid for Slow Cooker Pork Chimichurri. Here is a little more info on chimichurri sauce.

Chimichurri is made from finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, and white or red wine vinegar. Additional flavorings such as paprika, cumin, thyme, lemon, basil, cilantro (coriander leaf) and bay leaf may be included. In its red version, tomato and red bell pepper may also be added. It can also be used as a marinade for grilled meat.

Chimichurri is available bottled or dehydrated for preparation by mixing with oil and water. Variants may replace the parsley with herbs such as coriander (cilantro) and culantro. Wikipedia

So usually chimichurri sauce is associated with grilled meats but I thought the flavor would go great in the crock pot. Besides making the chimichurri, this recipe is about as easy as it gets and you still get the wonderful fresh flavors of the sauce.

I made Mexican vermicelli to serve with the pork, substituting the chimichurri cooking sauce for the water or broth. Oh, my! This was the best ever and goes great as the side dish for the Slow Cooker Pork Chimichurri.
