Asado

A typical asado in Argentina

Asado (Spanish: [aˈsaðo]) is the technique and the social event of having or attending a barbecue[1] in various South American countries: especially Argentina, Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul), Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay where it is also a traditional event. An asado usually consists of beef, pork, chicken, chorizo, and morcilla; all of which are cooked using an open fire or a grill, called a parrilla. Usually, red wine and side dishes such as salads accompany the main meats, which are prepared by a designated cook called the asador[2] or parrillero.
