Chimichurri Dipping Sauce

 

 

I have yet to find a protein that doesn’t taste good with a little chimichurri! Depending on how loose or thick you like you sauce, you can adjust the amount of olive oil. This dipping sauce goes especially well with both the Grilled Sweetbreads & Grilled Chicken Heart Skewers.

Lemon Garlic Dipping Sauce

 

 

Rich without being heavy and zippy from the lemon juice and garlic, this sauce goes well with any fried organ dishes, especially with Crispy Fried Kidney.

Salsa Verde

 

 

Salsa Verde works well with lean meats, like tongue and heart. It is salty, sour, and fresh!

Horseradish Sauce

Juice of 1/2 Lemon
