Moving onto practical work on the grillThis part of the class offers an exciting opportunity to learn how to grill the various cuts of meat in Argentina and *achuras that constitute the Argentinian *asado (barbecue).
 Learning from "El Asador"An Argentine Asado (barbecue in Argentina) typically has a sequence of meats presented by the Asador (the cook other than Teresita will be handling the grill). El Asador will cover: preparing and lighting the fire, seasoning the meat, timing, and serving "the Argentine way" Pairing Argentine winesA Malbec wine from Mendoza with taste of cherries, plums, blackberries and raspberries, and marked by a peppery spice, licorice and ample tannins. They have bright acidity, ideal to cut through the richness of red meat. Argentine Malbecs are rarely super-alcoholic, thus enhancing their food-friendly character.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.
 Sit at the big garden table and enjoy!When the barbecue is sizzling ready, it is time to enjoy! Sit around the table with a great Malbec wine and take your time... Buen provecho! Class Details When: Usually Wednesdays, see Class Schedule for details
