Salsa Criolla (Creole Barbecue Sauce)

Written by Published on in Recipe, Reeling in the Years

There are many variations on this Creole barbecue sauce from Argentina, but this is my favorite. It is served with grilled, roasted, or barbecued meats and seafood. Variation: Add 1 bell pepper and 1 jalapeño, both seeded and minced.
