What defines Uruguayan cooking
Uruguayan cooking leans heavily on the grill, with beef taking center stage alongside simple sides rather than heavy sauces or spice. Italian and Spanish immigration shaped much of the everyday table, showing up in pasta, egg-and-milk-based desserts, and pastries built on flour, sugar, and butter. Home cooks also lean on tomato and onion as a base for stews and sauces, and ham turns up often in sandwiches and empanada fillings.
