Every Boxing Day we invite family and friends to an open
house/bbq at our Waikanae Beach.
In 2012, we were privileged to experience a traditional
Argentinian Asado prepared by our own personal Asadore, Juan. Under his
watchful direction, preparations commenced mid-morning - building of the
parrilla using a combination of Kiwi/Argentinian diy initiatives, gathering of
the precise type of wood to be used the fire, and selecting and seasoning of
the meat as well as the preparing of the accompanying salads and sauces.
On this beautiful sunny Kapiti day, Juan kept a watchful eye on
the slowly cooking meat, whilst the rest of us looked on, relaxing under the
shade of the large Pohutukawa tree, drinking Marbeck and cold beer, and eating
scrumptious empanadas. However, the best was yet to come – The MEAT
itself– It was moist, tender and very tasty, and was eagerly devoured!
Everyone enjoyed the experience so much that they are looking
forward to a repeat experience in the not too distant future?
Thanks again Juan.
Happy Birthday, Have a Good One Mate,
& Feliz Cumpleanos from your New Zealand family. xxxxx
