Back to the kitchen at Teresita's To Prepare Chimichurri

We return back to the Teresita's kitched for cooking classic dishes that complement the parrillada. Ensalada Criolla (Creole Salad) are considered one of the best serving side dishes savored on different occasions in Argentina for an assort of meats. You will also get a lesson on how to prepare chimichurri (Argentine parsley-garlic sauce for grilled meats).

Moving onto practical work on the grill

You will get practical lessons on a range of meats from "el asador" which will be presented by the Asador (the cook other than Teresita will be handling the grill). You will be acquainted with preparing and lighting the fire, how to season the meat, timings and servings all in an "Argentine way".

Once the barbecue is sizzling hot and ready, we can now enjoy it! It is time to taste. Sit around the table and savor Malbec wine at your pace ... Buen provecho!

Pairing wines

Malbec wine from Mendoza is considered the premier wine from Argentina with essence of cherries, plums, blackberries and raspberries, and marked by a peppery spice, licorice and ample tannins. They have vivid acidity and are perfect to cut through the sumptuousness of red meat. Argentine Malbecs are hardly ever super-alcoholic, hence enhancing their food-friendly quality.

Torrontés will also be served. Torrontés is Argentina's best white variety creating a fresh, fruity and elegant white wine and Malbec steals the show with its deep, ripe, juicy flavors ideal for red meat and chocolate dishes.
