There's just a few days left for Hispanic Heritage Month and I've been loving sharing all of these delicious, traditional recipes with you. Today we're visiting Uruguay, the country nestled sort of at the bottom of Brazil and bordering Argentina.
It's a small and lovely place filled with delicious food, just like all of the other dishes we've celebrated in the past month. After sharing so many traditional dishes from other nations, I couldn't be happier than to share this really unique Uruguayan sauce called salsa salu. It combines fresh veggies, herbs and peppers in a sauce that is perfect to put on top of any meat (and I bet it would work great with pork or chicken, too!). Intrigued? I know I am! Let's dig in, shall we?
