If you haven’t bought food for the holidays yet, I discovered how to make this typical Christmas dish.
When you think about what you can eat at Christmas, there are many traditional dishes of the date. One of the best known is the vitel tonethat meat covered in an irresistible tuna sauce is a great must-have at Argentine Fiestas. But making it from scratch requires several ingredients.
Vitel toné originated in Piedmont, Italywhere it is known as vitel tonnà, which means beef with tuna. But they were the Piedmontese immigrants that upon reaching the Río de La Plata They installed this plate as a Christmas symbol because being cold, it is ideal for the hot festivities of Argentina.
