The BBQ sauce of Argentina which is great on steaks, shish kabobs and vegetables. This will add spice to your BBQ. From the Star-Ledger paper May, 2006. Wines suggested: for beef, serve with Cabernet Sauvignon (the robust flavor stands up to spicy foods) and for veggies, serve an Argentinian wine called Malbec from Quara, named for the Incan term for llama (this is rich, fruity and easy to drink).
