One of the favourite cooking methods in Argentina is
without a doubt
grilling. This style of cooking is derived from the original Argentinian Gaucho tradition of cooking fresh meat over a charcoal fire.

To add flavour and tenderise the meat
Argentines often marinate meats in Chimichurri. Food without Chimichurri just wouldn't be tolerated in Argentina especially grilled meat to which it adds an amazing flavour.


Argentine Chimichurri

1/3 packet of garlic salt
6 chilli peppers
2 sachets bouquet garni
1 large onion
ฝ tub of dried peppers
1 pint (500ml) of vinegar
2 pints (1 litre) oil

Boil all the ingredients
excluding oil
together in the vinegar for five minutes.
Wait until the mixture cools.
When the mixture has cooled
add the oil.
Store in refrigerator.

When you're ready to barbecue or grill
marinade meat in chimichurri overnight. Barbecue
grill or cook in the oven. Enjoy!
