Argentine Asado Dinner Party (We Credit Recipegirl for This Menu and Recipes.) 6/25/2020 Argentina Dinner Argentine Asado Dinner Party (We credit RecipeGirl for this menu and recipes.) Recommended by Judy Lauper Note on drinks: As many of our participants do not drink wine or hard liquor we are now going to start a system where each person attending will bring his own drinks. We will make suggestions on drinks but it is up to you to bring a wine or other drink. Menu: Suggested Beverages: wine: Malbec, fine tequila w/lime wedges Appetizers: Grilled Chorizo, Empanadas Starter: Hearts of Palm & avocado salad Dinner: Grilled Aubergines and Peppers Grilled Steak and Chimichurri Sauce Rustic Bread Dessert: Flan de Leche A wonderful friend in our Gourmet Dinner Group is from Peru. She travels all over South America on business, and she comes back with the most amazing rustic plates and dishes, and she collects authentic recipes and food experiences along the way. file:///C:/Users/Walt/Documents/allWebSites/aauw-da.org/gourmet/argentina/indexArgentina.html 1/7 6/25/2020 Argentina Dinner Her husband has spent many years living in Mexico, and he’s a true grill-master. He grills up things (all-day long, sometimes) that he could never begin to explain how to make yourself. Which is probably why he had this wonderful stone hearth barbecue built in his backyard… file:///C:/Users/Walt/Documents/allWebSites/aauw-da.org/gourmet/argentina/indexArgentina.html 2/7 6/25/2020 Argentina Dinner Our friends hosted a Gourmet Argentine Asado in their backyard last weekend. A “traditional” Asado is a specific way of grilling meat. It involves using coals and firewood & tending to the meat to make sure that it is grilled to perfection. Our friends chose Skirt Steak to grill, simply seasoned with sea salt and then served up with Chimichurri Sauce. They grilled up a large bison steak too just for fun. Flank steak is also often used for an Asado. My friend explained to me that in Argentina, the men carry their own steak knife to a barbecue… tucked into its own leather holder. What a manly thing to do, right?! She happened to have a bunch of those knives in leather holders for the men at our Gourmet Asado. Another tradition is to serve beef empanadas with lime wedges (along with tequila… & lime). We complied with tradition, of course. file:///C:/Users/Walt/Documents/allWebSites/aauw-da.org/gourmet/argentina/indexArgentina.html 3/7 6/25/2020 Argentina Dinner Chorizo is often found at an Asado, so we grilled some of those up also to munch on while sipping Malbec and tequila. file:///C:/Users/Walt/Documents/allWebSites/aauw-da.org/gourmet/argentina/indexArgentina.html 4/7 6/25/2020 Argentina Dinner When it was time to eat the main dish, our hosts directed us to the table settings, where they had placed a photograph of a famous person that they felt somehow represented our personality. (This is not an Argentine tradition!) Mine was pretty easy to figure out… A traditional Asado is served with a green salad and vegetables. We chose to serve a Hearts of Palm & Avocado Salad. It had chunks of grapefruit in it too, along with a tangy white wine vinegar-based dressing. file:///C:/Users/Walt/Documents/allWebSites/aauw-da.org/gourmet/argentina/indexArgentina.html 5/7 6/25/2020 Argentina Dinner Simply spiced aubergine (eggplant) and red bell peppers were grilled up too. And we couldn’t forget a large loaf of rustic bread, for soaking up the leftover chimichurri sauce. The typical Asado suggests fresh fruit or tarts for dessert. We opted for individual servings of Flan de Leche. file:///C:/Users/Walt/Documents/allWebSites/aauw-da.org/gourmet/argentina/indexArgentina.html 6/7 6/25/2020 Argentina Dinner All in all, it was a fabulous evening full of great food and friends. All of the recipes can be found by clicking on the recipe titles above.

  • Creating Culture Through Food, a Study of Traditional Argentine Foods
    Unit Title: Creating Culture through Food: A Study of Traditional Argentine Foods Author: Kyra Brogden George Watts Magnet Montessori, Durham, NC Subject Area: Writing and Language, Social Studies Topic: Food and culture Grade Level: 1st, 2nd, 3rd (Lower Elementary) Time Frame: 4 days of 45-minute lessons on Argentine food, nutrition and culture Cooking: 3 days of cooking and 1 day to put together the cookbook *The cooking lessons will require more time and resources. Also the cookbook may require going through a rough draft and final copy that can occur after the lessons themselves are completed. That can be done at the teachers’ discretion. Brief Summary: This unit will focus on helping students understand the role of nutrition and food in defining a culture by studying Argentine nutrition and food. The first four lessons will focus on comparing nutritional guidelines, evaluating food, and a discussion about meal times in both the United States and Argentina. The students will then embark on a series of three lessons that each focus on a traditional Argentine food. The students will cook the food, create a nutritional analysis, learn about the history of that food, and then write food reviews. The students will ultimately make a cookbook with the recipes, pictures, nutritional analysis, and their own food review. Established Goals are taken from the Common Core Standards for Grade 2: Research to Build and Present Knowledge 7. Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g. read a number of books on a single topic to produce a report; record science observations) 8.
