Chimi-Churi is the Spice Boys way of spelling Chimichurri, a blend originating in Argentina and popular in Latin American countries. It's said to be derived from the name Jimmy McCurry, an Irishman living in Argentina. Other stories vying as authentic all involve the difficulty of Argentineans pronouncing an Irish name, or a similar Scottish name or yet another similar English name. The blend contains chopped parsley, garlic, vegetable oil, vinegar, pepper flakes, paprika, oregano, cumin, and bay, that is to say, pretty much anything, or not, in other words, a curry. Another explanation for the name is a distortion of the sound "Gim'e the curry."
So there's that, and that being insufficiently complex I added a smidge of proper Vindaloo curry. Satisfied the combination of curries would confuse my taste buds enough to keep them interested I added peanut butter and pineapple to seared chicken tenders. Homemade chicken broth thickened with corn starch slurry. Poured over spinach spaghetti pasta. Does that sound good or what? No? It's a bit hot. Here, have a look.
