The Asado is considered the national dish of Argentina. Much more than a BBQ, it is both an art form and a ritual for the Argentine people. In our 1 Day Asado Masterclass we will head to a local chefs house in the heart of Mendoza wine country, surrounded by vines and the mountains to learn the secrets to making a perfect Asado. • Become an asador for the day! • Experience authentic food prepared the way we have for generations. • Learn the different Argentine cuts of meat from a master chef. • Learn the secrets for the perfect asado: from salting the meat, distributing the coals and cooking the meat in the right order. • Make homemade empanadas in a clay oven and enjoy the fruits of your labor! • Make Chimichurri – Argentina’s condiment sauce • Sample some of Argentina's best boutique and off the beaten track wines paired with your asado • Finish the day with a mate drink and home made dessert Your class is a full hands-on experience. You will be able to get your hands “dirty” on every aspect of the asado. Your class will be held at the chef instructor’s house that he shares with his wife. It is a old country house 25 minutes from downtown Mendoza.
