Chajá and Dulce de Leche

What it is
The sweet of the republic: dulce de leche in everything (Uruguay and Argentina feud over its birthplace), chajá cake (the meringue-peach-cream sponge invented in Paysandú in 1927), and Martín Fierro (cheese with quince paste — the gaucho dessert named for the epic poem). Ingredients: dulce de leche (milk, sugar, patience); chajá: sponge, meringue, peaches, cream, dulce de leche; Martín Fierro: Colonia cheese, quince paste. Recipe: 1) Make or buy true dulce de leche (slow-cooked). 2) Layer the chajá: sponge, cream, peaches, meringue shards. 3) Slice cheese and quince for Martín Fierro. 4) Serve after asado, with mate. Serve: at confiterías (chajá at its Paysandú birthplace is the pilgrimage). Flavor: caramel, cream, nostalgia. History: chajá was created by Orlando Castellano (Confitería Las Familias) and named for the crested screamer bird — light as its feathers. See also: Asado (Uruguayan), Chivito.
