Sweet Potato Bowl With Chimichurri(Argentina) image

Chimichurri has its roots in Argentina, where it is usually slathered over grilled meat. Here, it lends spicy, garlicky goodness to a hearty bowl of sweet potatoes and quinoa. For optimum flavor, use larger amount of spices. I have tweeked this just a tad. From Vegetarian Times.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I had some roasted sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving dinner, and they worked perfectly in this recipe.

I added some grilled chicken to this dish and it was amazing. The chicken and the sweet potatoes were a perfect match.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I used parsley in the chimichurri sauce. It turned out great!
