We've been invited by our friends today to join them for a traditional Uruguayan
asado. That's barbeque at home this is going to be amazing
before we head to the butchers shop to get the meat it's time for yerba mate
it's very bitter and very strong so drinking mate is a really social thing
everyone sits around and you once you finish your cup full you fill it up again
and pass it on to the next person and you chat and you drink mate and it's just
life is good
Meat purchasing complete, it looks so good. Time to head home and get on the asado or
the barbecue
First step is to get the barbie going so we've got some kindling and some paper
and some thicker wood on there that will all burn all the charcoals will fall
down and then we'll be able to push them across to get the meat on
We have got so much meat here we've got intestines which is called chinchuline
and we've got morcilla which is blood sausage, sweet and savory
we've got chorizo, we've got ribs and we also have belly in there so we're
just going to season it with salt and pour lemon over the chinchuline
and let it marinate a bit and then we're going to chuck it on the grill
Hot? Boiling it is so hot. The weather is over 30 degrees centigrade today and this
thing wooooooh!
Can't barbecue without a real Gaucho's sombrero
Wow! That asado was just phenomenal. It was the best experience. it was the
highlight of Montevideo of Uruguay I must say yes it was just what was your
favorite? I'm probably boring and liked the sausage. The chorizo? The chorizo. I liked the
chinchuline the intestine. They were awesome. They were chewy on the outside but
really creamy on the inside, just.... So, so, good if you ever, ever
get a chance to cook traditional Uruguayan asado
with locals. Seize it with both hands. Grab it! Do it.
Just wow. Absolutely incredible. This, are we finishing now? I think we'll finish up because I've got meat sweats I need to lie down.
It's still very very hot. Remember to subscribe, we're uploading new videos
