A parrilla is a specially designed grill to broil huge pieces of meat. Using the parrilla is the most popular cooking method particularly in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Chile. You will find these kinds of grills in all styles imaginable. There is hardly a part of cattle you won't find on these charcoal or wood fired parrillas. From sausages like chorizo (pork sausage), morcilla (blood sausage) to riñones (kidneys), chinchulines (intestines), mollejas (sweet breads) to tenderloin and strip steaks, everything gets grilled. You just have to make your choice. The beef is naturally flavorful and always perfectly tender. Buen provecho!

I just finished eating dinner but your post made me hungry.
ReplyDeleteMy dear wife, Lois Anne, would not be happy here...being a Vegan!
ReplyDeleteI used to eat meat years ago, but I never ate kidneys or intestines, how do they taste?
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! What time will dinner be ready?! Can I bring some wine!?
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! I'll bet the beef is superb there.
ReplyDeleteOh, Argentina is the red meat and high cholesterol capital of the world. We don't eat a lot of red meat anymore for all sorts of reasons. But when in your country...
ReplyDeleteSuper photo. I remember the best gatherings in BA were asados! Beef and blood sausage! Though I can't remember much about blood sausage, I was more of the age where Dulce de Leche caught my tastebuds. Love your photo capturing such a 'day in the life' scene.
ReplyDeleteit looks a little bit like hell - not only for the hips ;-).
ReplyDeleteIt must be a much healthier way of cooking than by frying, and it must all taste absolutely delicious! Thank you for this insight.
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the ABC Team, thank you for sharing.
Now, that is how I imagine Argentina -- a cornucopia of sizzling meat.
ReplyDeleteI'll have the steaks and the chorizo, you can have the rest.
ReplyDeleteThis is so PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful...great capture!
ReplyDeleteI've only been eating grilled chorizo recently. Usually I prefer it fried.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how we also love to eat all these parts. I've tried chicken intestine but I'm not sure I want to try the blood sausage.....
This picture reminds me so much of Argentina. Best beef ever.
ReplyDeleteSmells, I mean, LOOKS delicious.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
