Why Dulce de Leche deserves more attention

Dulce de Leche rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The herbal and garlicky complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using chimichurri herbs correctly takes real skill.

Argentina consumes more beef per capita than almost any other country. I encountered it first in a Sunday asado in a friend's garden and that context helped me understand it properly. Malbec is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Dulce de Leche is the dish to start with.
