Argentinian Chicken with Chimichurri, Roasted Vegetables & Cheesy Bread

Argentina is famous for its beef and magical, bright sauce: chimichurri—tangy, herbaceous, and a great complement to the earthy meat. This version is made with parsley, onion, vinegar, and chili powder, and is spooned over a bavette steak (so flavorful it’s called “the butcher’s cut”).

Arroz a la Tumbada (Mexican Tomato Rice with Seafood)

Arroz a la tumbada is a coastal Mexican seafood rice dish, especially associated with Veracruz, where rice is cooked in a tomato-rich broth rather than served as a dry side. The grains should be tender and lightly saucy, carrying the sweetness of ripe tomato, softened onion and garlic through the whole pot. Mixed seafood goes in near the end so it stays juicy, while fresh coriander and lime add a clean, bright finish. Served straight from the pot, it works as a generous one-dish dinner with a relaxed, sharing-style feel.
