Chapter 1: Starting with the Sides
Traditional Chimichurri
Chimichurri is a bold, herbaceous sauce originating from Argentina, traditionally served alongside grilled meats. It's known for its vibrant green color, tangy flavor, and garlicky punch, making it a perfect accompaniment for beef, chicken, or even grilled vegetables.
Ingredients:
● 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, tightly packed
● 4 garlic cloves, minced
● 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves (or 2 teaspoons dried oregano)
● 1/2 cup olive oil
● 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
● 1 teaspoon sea salt
● 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
● 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions:
Finely chop the parsley, garlic, and oregano. For the best texture, it's recommended to do this by hand rather than using a food processor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped herbs and garlic with the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
Let the chimichurri sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, let it rest in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
Serve as a condiment alongside grilled meats or vegetables. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Criolla Sauce
Criolla Sauce is a vibrant, tangy sauce similar to salsa, commonly found in Argentine cuisine. It's made with tomatoes, onions, and peppers, dressed simply with vinegar and oil. This sauce is excellent with empanadas, grilled meats, or as a refreshing addition to sandwiches.
Ingredients:
● 2 medium ripe tomatoes, finely diced
● 1 medium red onion, finely diced
● 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
● 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
● 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
● 1/4 cup olive oil
● 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
● Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, red and green bell peppers, and chopped parsley.
Drizzle the olive oil and red wine vinegar over the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix everything gently until well combined. Let the sauce sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with your preferred dishes.
Grilled Provoleta Cheese
Provoleta is a traditional Argentine appetizer featuring thick slices of provolone cheese grilled until melty and slightly charred. Often seasoned with oregano and chili flakes, it's a gooey, savory treat that's irresistible.
Ingredients:
● 1 large slice of provolone cheese, about 1/2-inch thick
● 1 teaspoon dried oregano
● 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
● Olive oil, for brushing
● Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Lightly brush both sides of the provolone slice with olive oil. Season one side with the dried oregano and red pepper flakes.
Place the cheese, seasoned side up, on the grill. Grill for about 2 minutes or until the bottom begins to brown and the cheese starts to melt.
Carefully flip the cheese (using a spatula) and grill for another 1-2 minutes, until the other side is golden and the cheese is gooey.
Remove from the grill and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
Patagonian Potato Salad
This Patagonian Potato Salad is a hearty, flavorful twist on traditional potato salad, incorporating ingredients like apples and beets for sweetness and texture, and dressed in a creamy, tangy sauce.
Ingredients:
● 2 pounds small potatoes, boiled until tender and halved
● 1 medium beet, roasted, peeled, and diced
● 1 green apple, cored and diced
● 2 celery stalks, finely sliced
● 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
● 1/2 cup mayonnaise
● 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
● 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
● Salt and pepper, to taste
● Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine the boiled potatoes, diced beet, diced apple, sliced celery, and chopped red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, whole grain mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. This salad can be enjoyed warm or chilled.
Charred Vegetables with Herb Oil

Ingredients for Herb Oil:
● 1/2 cup olive oil
● 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
● 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
● 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
● 1 garlic clove, minced
●
