MATAMBRE (“HUNGER KILLER”) ON JULY 4

artbatterygroup — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 16:12:26 +0000

Matambre is a beef dish from Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. Of an Italian style, it is a rolled flank steak filled with vegetables, eggs and herbs that is then boiled or oven-roasted. It can be served warm as a dish, or cold as delicatessen meat. When sliced, the different vegetables make a colourful display. It is often eaten with chimichurri sauce. It is also known as a very “fatty” meat and is usually eaten with vegetables.

Although it is not the national dish it is extremely popular in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. The term, a portmanteau of “mata” and “hambre” can be translated into English as “hunger killer”, as it is often served as an appetizer. (Information from Wikipedia)

artbatterygroup — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 16:15:59 +0000

Last night was a such a wonderful celebration of the first year of 8dinner. We had some friends over (Andrea, Alvaro, Heather, Chris and Sanil) and we prepared a Chilean inspired dinner.

We served lamb sausage and spicy sausage”choripan” (grilled sausage on home made buns) with “pebre” (Chilean style salsa), “Ensalada a la chilena” (Tomao salad and onions), “Paste de choclo” (Meat and corn casserole) and home made blueberry tart with vanilla ice cream.

Also I want to mention the correct way to pronounce “Chilean” for all the ones that wonder….. SALUD!
