Instead of tortilla chips and salsa, try Plantain Chips with Chimichurri as an appetizer to kick off a Latin themed meal.
The subtly sweet plantain chip makes a nice pairing with the olive oil-based South American sauce and its flavors of garlic and Italian parsley.
Double the recipe if you plan to grill a steak any time soon. It makes a great accompaniment to grilled meats and vegetables, as well.
Enjoy and have a great week. -alyce eyster Photo: Fulton Davenport
