Asado for everyone
Argentina is a place with a strong Italian tradition, not only in the great pasta variety or the best gellatto in the world, also the sense of gathering. There is no reunion without food, even if you don't have a dime to spend, and you have only potatoes to eat there will be a nice table set, even if it is french fries, potatoes salad, and mash potatoes.
Everyone will contribute, go Dutch is not only to pay , sometimes is to wash dishes, set the table, or prepare desserts.
Today, thankfully we are having a nice meal, classic Asado wich is a BBQ on the Argentinean style. I will give you some tips if you want to cook an Argentine Asado wherever you live.
There is two ways to do this, on a grill or on a cross. Today we do grill.
You need charcoal and wood, as usual, but you want to cook the charcoal untill it gets mainly white, and spread it in a really thin layer, keep uncooked charcoals on the side so you can add once the heat goes down. Ideal temperature is puting your palm 2 inches from the grill and count to 10, if you can't handle more 6 seconds it is too hot, so you will need to make a thiner layer.
Now the salt and pepper. Use kosher salt and a small dash of fresh grounded black pepper. Use little salt on the fatty side and be generous on the bone side. Once this done, place the meats with the bones towards the fire and wait untill the blood goes up , and then flip it. If you like it well-done wait until the blood on top starts to get brown.
You can also add some chorizos and morcillas, morcillas are a black sausage made mainly of cow blood, it may sound disgusting, but believe me , it is one of the most delicious things you will try if you are a meet lover.
Also some veggies on the grill are welcome. And one or two nice salads are a must.
Well, enough talking , time to eat !
Peace!
I can smell it through the screen!
