Dulce de Leche for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Dulce de Leche for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The intensely beefy and smoky profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced Malbec wine used that way before.

Argentina consumes more beef per capita than almost any other country. I explained the a family quincho barbecue area context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. Quilmes lager was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
