  • Salsa is a staple of Argentine cooking — the word literally means "sauce." I came across this recipe in a magazine and it caught my eye right away. Even a plain, low-calorie dish takes on a unique, zesty flavor with this sauce. Let's get started. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then add the ketchup, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, a little garlic salt, and the balsamic vinegar. You'll only need about a quarter of the onion; mince it as finely as you can and add it to the rest. Set it over low heat for about 5 minutes, then pour in the brandy and simmer another 5 minutes. Take the sauce off the heat and let it cool. Before serving the salsa with your main dish, let it rest in the fridge for at least an hour — ideally a full day — so all the flavors meld together. Serve the chilled salsa with fish, meat, poultry, beans, or eggs. This spicy salsa is especially good as a dipping sauce for seafood.
