Don’t even consider passing up a plate of the Cima a la Genovese (in Italian, Cimma alla Genovese), a classic Ligurian dish of breast of veal stuffed with a variety of vegetables, poached, sliced, and served at room temperature with top quality olive oil to drizzle over it. No doubt this is the dish that inspired the local matambre that porteños happily eat, as often as possible.

I’ve heard that some people soak the meat in milk the night before to make it more tender.

Your blog looks great, I like to see what others think about Argentinian food and going out in Buenos Aires.
