More of Argentina, leaving Mendoza… I want to cry!!!

Excellent camping, excellent people, excellent food/wine… Do I want to leave? NOPE… but we will come back.


Pasta Negra.
Pasta can be cooked easily by just adding garlic previously cooked with olive oil, so there is no recipe… I just have to remind you that if you have garlic and olive oil you can make pasta. This pasta is different in colour and delicious, it cost $540 Chilean pesos (about $1.2 USD) and we cooked it in Argentina. We also had some zucchini and hot peppers so we added them to the mix. Fantastic and the meal only costs about $4 USD including meats and other things!!!




Facturas.
Receipts? Nope. Facturas also means legal receipts but in this case it refers to food. Facturas are delicious sweet pastries that you accompany with coffee or just when you feel like something sweet.
You can get 12 pieces for $12-$20 Argentinean pesos depending on size and type. I love them!!!




Tempranillo.
This wine is very young but really tasty. Our friend Roberto gave us two bottles from his own Bodega “Sanchez-Salomon” and we enjoyed them through the rest of our route in Argentina.
Price? Not sure, it was a gift so priceless…




Brian’s love…
Brian is always willing to make happy… when he cooks for me he makes me really happy.
Here there is a recipe, simple and delicious. With the meal we tasted Salta beer for about $2 USD, good beer… not very strong but enjoyable.

Ingredients:
Meat
Potatoes
Tomatoes
Avocados
Onions
Lemon
Salt
Pepper
Butter

Preparation:
1) Prepare the fire, Argentinean style. Cook the meat.
2) While the meat cooks, boil the potatoes (do not take the skin off). Once these are ready mash them with butter and add salt and pepper to taste.
3) Make a salad with cubed tomatoes, avocados and thinly sliced onions. Lemon juice and salt are a good addition.
4) Serve all these items and enjoy with a beer.

Dish costs= $6.2 USD, but we still had some ingredients left for other meals.
