Chimichurri Rojo (Argentine Red Chimichurri)

Chimichurri rojo is the red sibling of Argentina's foundational herb sauce. Roasted red pepper and smoked paprika shift the colour and add a quiet smokiness that the green version does not have. It goes on steak the same way green chimichurri does, but also works as a marinade, a spread, and a dressing. Made in minutes. Better after resting. Keeps for two weeks.

Empanadas Mendocinas (Argentine Baked Beef Empanadas)

Mendocinas are Mendoza's version of the empanada — baked, never fried, and distinguished by a milk dough that bakes softer than the standard. The filling is spiced ground beef with smoked paprika, cumin, green olives, and hard-boiled egg. No raisins. The paprika turns the filling and crust an orange-red that identifies these across Argentina. Made in batches, best eaten warm, and freezable before baking.
