Costillas con Chimichurri: Argentinian-Style Beef Ribs with Chimichurri Sauce
These Argentinian-style beef ribs are tender and juicy, their robustness mouthwateringly complimented by the bright, complex acidity of the chimichurri. It’s an unapologetically indelicate dish—it’s carnal, demanding that you pick up the bones and tear every last bite off with your teeth, licking the chimichurri from your fingers.

Crispy Fried Pig’s Ears with Arugula and Capers
These deep-fried pig’s ears are salty, tender yet crispy, and super indulgent; the lemon vinaigrette arugula salad brings a fresh and acid element to the dish that balances the decadence of the pig’s ears.
Sichuan Twice-Cooked Pork (or Tripe)
While this recipe is amazing with pork belly—spicy, nuanced, with tender meat and vegetables—and my new favorite way to eat it is with tripe. Regardless of the protein you choose, this makes for a fabulous and authentic taste of Sichuan.
