Chimichurri Rojo (Argentine Red Chimichurri) with roasted red bell pepper, fresh flat leaf parsley and red wine vinegar — Argentina recipe

🇦🇷ArgentinaMedium

Sauces and Dips

Chimichurri Rojo (Argentine Red Chimichurri)

Chimichurri rojo is the red version of Argentina's chimichurri, the uncooked sauce of parsley, garlic, oregano, wine vinegar and oil that goes on grilled meat. The red comes from pimentón dulce (sweet paprika) and ají molido, the crushed dried chili of the Argentine pantry; some cooks there also add chopped red bell pepper (morrón), and this recipe takes that route, charring the pepper over a flame first. Everything is chopped by hand, stirred with the vinegar, then covered with oil. Hands-on time is about 30 minutes; the pepper steams under a plate for 10 minutes while you chop the rest, and the finished sauce needs 30 minutes on the counter before it tastes right. Makes about 350 ml (1½ cups); a serving is about 3 tablespoons.

Italian Salsa Rossa (Piedmontese Bagnet Ross Tomato Sauce) with tomatoes, onion and carrot — Italy recipe

🇮🇹ItalyAdvanced

Sauces and Dips

Italian Salsa Rossa (Piedmontese Bagnet Ross Tomato Sauce)

Salsa rossa — known as bagnet ross in Piedmontese dialect — is a slow-cooked tomato sauce from Piedmont in northern Italy, traditionally spooned alongside bollito misto, the region's winter dish of mixed boiled meats. This version keeps to a plain vegetable base: ripe tomatoes, onion, carrot, celery, and garlic simmered until thick, then balanced with sugar and red wine vinegar. Many Piedmontese households build a richer version with roasted bell pepper and a pinch of cinnamon and clove, closer to what's sold as salsa rubra, but the tomato-and-soffritto core stays the same either way. Let it cool for about an hour before serving. Naturally vegan and gluten-free.

Panzanella (Tuscan Bread and Tomato Salad) with stale bread, tomatoes and red onion — Italy recipe

🇮🇹ItalyMedium

Salads

Panzanella (Tuscan Bread and Tomato Salad)

Panzanella is a classic Tuscan salad of stale bread and ripe summer tomatoes, dressed with olive oil and red wine vinegar, with red onion and basil. It is a summer dish of central Italy (Tuscany and around), and a clear example of cucina povera — a way to use up stale bread, like its relatives Pappa al pomodoro and Ribollita. The name comes from pane (bread) and zanella (a deep bowl), reflecting its humble roots, and the dish goes back to the Middle Ages and the Tuscan countryside. A curious fact: the first panzanella had no tomatoes at all — it was made with bread, onion, and purslane, and the tomato only became the central ingredient in the 20th century. Unlike ordinary salads, panzanella is built on bread as its base: pieces of stale bread soak up the tomato juice, olive oil, and vinegar, turning soft but springy — never soggy when made correctly. The technical keys: stale bread, not fresh; soak and wring it out rather than toasting it (the authentic Tuscan way); ripe seasonal tomatoes whose juice becomes part of the dressing; red wine vinegar, not balsamic; and a 15-30 minute rest so the flavors come together. Served at room temperature as an antipasto or a light summer meal, it is summer on a plate — and best eaten the same day it is made.

Salade Lyonnaise (French Frisée Salad with Bacon and Poached Egg)

Salade lyonnaise is a warm salad from Lyon, a fixture of the city's bouchons (traditional bistros): bitter frisée with crisp bacon lardons, croutons and a warm mustard vinaigrette, topped with a poached egg. The vinaigrette is made in the pan the bacon was fried in, with some of the rendered fat, so it goes onto the leaves warm. At the table the yolk is broken and runs into the dressing, and the bitter leaves, salty bacon and sharp vinegar balance its richness.

Verdure alla Griglia (Italian Grilled Vegetables)

Verdure alla griglia are Italian grilled vegetables: eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers and red onion, sliced thin, charred on a grill or a ridged pan and dressed with olive oil, garlic, parsley and a spoonful of red wine vinegar. In Italy they go on the table as an antipasto or as a contorno, the side dish served with grilled meat or fish. The slices are patted dry, brushed with a little oil and grilled unsalted on a very hot surface, dressed while still warm and left for half an hour to soak up the dressing.

Canard a l'Orange (French Roast Duck with Orange Sauce)

Canard a l'orange is one of the pillars of classical French cooking: a whole roast duck with crisp, rendered skin, served with sauce bigarade — a sharp, glossy orange sauce built on a gastrique of caramelized sugar and vinegar. The point isn't sweetness but tension, the acidity and faint bitterness of the orange cutting straight through the fat of the bird. Codified by Escoffier, it's the dish that taught generations of cooks what balance means.

Provoleta (Argentine Grilled Provolone) with provolone, crusty bread and garlic — Argentina recipe

Appetizers and Sandwiches

Provoleta (Argentine Grilled Provolone)

Provoleta is what opens an Argentine asado: a thick disc of provolone seared in a small cast iron pan until the outside forms a golden crust and the middle turns molten. Dried oregano and chili flakes go on before it hits the heat, and chimichurri goes over the top after. There's nothing complicated about it — the whole art is in getting a crust to form before the cheese collapses, and eating it straight from the pan with torn bread.

Satsivi (Georgian Chicken in Walnut Sauce)

Satsivi (also spelled satzivi, Georgian საცივი) is a Georgian cold dish: poached chicken or turkey in a sauce of ground walnuts, onion, garlic, and broth, spiced with blue fenugreek, marigold petals known as Imeretian saffron, coriander, and clove. The name comes from the Georgian word for cold, and the dish is served cold or just cool, because the sauce sets as it chills, so it is cooked a day ahead. It is a fixture of the Georgian New Year table.

Anticuchos de Corazón with beef heart and ají panca paste — Peru recipe

🇵🇪PeruMedium

Meat Dishes

Anticuchos de Corazón

Anticuchos are skewers of beef heart marinated in ají panca, garlic, cumin and vinegar, then grilled over charcoal. They belong to the street corners of Lima, where the anticucheras set up braziers in the evening and serve them with a boiled potato, a piece of corn and a chilli sauce. The dish traces back to colonial Peru, when enslaved workers were given the offcuts that the Spanish kitchens discarded and applied a spiced-and-skewered technique to the heart, the cut closest in texture to muscle meat. Heart is dense, lean and mild rather than strong-tasting, and the entire difficulty lies in trimming it properly and taking it off the fire early. Marinating time comes on top of the stated time.

Lomo Saltado with beef sirloin, ají amarillo and red onions — Peru recipe

🇵🇪PeruMedium

Meat Dishes

Lomo Saltado

Lomo saltado is a beef stir-fry from the chifa kitchens of Peru, where Cantonese cooking technique met Peruvian ingredients from the late nineteenth century onward. Strips of sirloin are seared in a scorching pan, then joined by red onion, ají amarillo, tomato, soy sauce and vinegar, and the whole thing is finished with fried potatoes folded in at the last second. Serving it over rice puts two starches on one plate, which is exactly the point: the potato is Andean, the rice and the wok are Chinese, and the soy-and-vinegar pan sauce belongs to neither on its own. Everything depends on pan temperature, so all cutting and measuring is done before the burner is lit.
