In the US, the word "creole" is synonymous with New Orleans cuisine, but the term actually meant a person of European decent born in a colony. In Argentina, the "criollos" lived in northwest Argentina where there were more people of Spanish ancestry. This sauce is a good compliment to meat or fish dishes. The recipe is from The Food and Cooking of Argentina. Cook time is actually chill time.
