Notes

Skip the parmesan cheese for a dairy-free version of this meal.

You could also add a little onion to the chimichurri for extra bite.

If you want to vary the flavoring of the meat, try mixing ½ tablespoon paprika powder, ½ tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 pinch of cumin and 1 pinch of cinnamon. This works great for all kinds of grilled of fried pork dishes.
