\nBack to the freezer and fridge foraging for fodder because it\u2019s too cold to go out shopping when I already have food at home.<\/p>\n

I had stashed a bag of four cheese ravioli in the freezer reserved for when my diet was over \u2013 but for some of us diets are never over, especially when serving quarantine time during a pandemic. Black truffle oil and freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano had been slated for the final fillip but frankly, the truffle oil on hand tasted pretty lame \u2013 more likely it was 2,4-Dithiapentane oil \u2013 so remedial measures were required.<\/p>\n

Peering into the fridge, I spotted a jar of chimichurri I had concocted when I made Bistec de Palomilla not too long ago. Chimichurri, the Argentinian condiment used to elevate grilled meat, features garlic and cilantro along with a few other piquant elements so it makes its presence known and would be worth the experiment here.<\/p>\n

A few dabs later and I\u2019d say it worked pretty well.<\/p>\n

Didn\u2019t help the diet though.
