    Blend Chimichurri: In a blender, combine parsley, cilantro, green onion, the roasted garlic, and strained tallow. Add vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste. If it is too thin, add more greens, too thick, add more fat or some olive oil. It will solidify if chilled, so serve slightly warm or room temperature.
