An interesting recipe for pumpkin cream soup - Argentine Choklo soup. Actually, this is not just a story about boiled pumpkin and blender - this is just elementary, many have tried it. There are also other “characters” of the culinary production - corn boiled in sweet water, home-made “Pesto” sauce, croutons dried in the oven and filled with oil infused with oregano, basil and red pepper and cream and Parmesan ... This incredibly tasty dish is served in a deep plate, a light pattern is applied on top of the Pesto sauce, and the surface is decorated with thin Parmesan petals and croutons.
Grilled meat with vegetables is also not just meat and not just vegetables. One should take grain fed beef tenderloin, that is, grain-fed beef: it has a completely different taste, it is especially tender. Vegetables will select only the best premium class. All this is cooked on an open grill with “Worchester” sauce, served on a cove with charcoal and served hot from the heat. Serving style - intentional simplicity, which will effectively contrast with the exquisite taste of "simple" dishes.
«Fiesta Taurino» Cut beef fillet into slices. Salt, pepper and grill in sunflower oil. Prepared vegetables (white onion, red, green and yellow sweet peppers, tomatoes, zucchini) cut into large slices. Fry in a pan in sunflower oil. Add meat and Worchester sauce to vegetables. Fry for 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Serve in taganka on coals. When serving, sprinkle with chopped parsley and green onions.
For meat we recommend the 2003 Chilean wine Erasmo. This is a dry red wine made from cabernet sauvignon and merlot varieties with a slight addition of cabernet franc. Color - ruby red. Aroma - with delicate notes of raspberry and cherry, deep and elegant. Taste - rich, with a long finish. Flow temperature - 16-17 ° C.

Marina Levina, "El Gaucho": «Тыква и кукуруза - самые популярные овощи в аргентинской кухне. Только аргентинцы умеют их правильно готовить, сохраняя всю питательную ценность и доводя природный вкус до совершенства. В этом номере я представляю рецепт супа «Чокло», что в переводе с испанского означает «Кукуруза». Суп незамысловат в приготовлении, при этом он открывает достаточно широкие перспективы для экспериментов с разными добавками. Это могут быть мелко рубленные жареные грибы, креветки и многое другое. Мне больше всего нравится использовать гренки, обжаренные с чесноком, «Пармезаном», орегано. Я рекомендую перед подачей на стол украсить суп соусом «Песто». Следующий рецепт - это горячее мясное блюдо «Fiesta Taurino». Блюдо красивое, праздничное и, конечно, вкусное. «Fiesta Taurino» - это ответ аргентинской кухни на мексиканский «Фахитос». Есть схожие черты: мясо, сладкий перец, лук, цуккини готовятся вместе, только не используются острые специи и приправы. Аргентинская кухня, в отличие от остальной латиноамериканской, не острая, она прежде всего здоровая и сытная. Приятного аппетита. Буэн провэчо!»
