Where vinagrete is the everyday table relish, molho à campanha is its churrasco formal — named for Rio, sharpened with vinegar, and poured over sausage and picanha at every grill in the country. The bottle lives on the barbecue tray from first skewer to last.

Ingredients

• •2 medium tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
• •1 small onion, finely diced
• •1 green bell pepper, finely diced
• •3 tbsp white vinegar
• •4 tbsp neutral oil
• •1 tsp fine sea salt
• •1 tbsp chopped parsley

Method

1. Dice evenlyCut the tomato, onion, and pepper to the same small dice so every spoonful carries all three.
2. DressStir together with vinegar, oil, and salt. It should be sharp and slightly thinner than vinagrete.
3. Rest brieflyLet it sit 15 to 30 minutes for the onion to pickle slightly, then stir in the parsley and serve alongside grilled meat.
