I like to host guests at my home from time to time, and I am gathering  recipes of different dishes and drinks to keep things interesting. I am interested in trying some Argentinian dishes. Can you give me a recipe for Parrilla?

Sure!  Here’s a brief explanation of parrilla. It’s Argentine barbecue, which is cooked in a special kind of outdoor grill called a “parrilla”.  It has different meats and vegetables on it, and you can choose to add various spiced sauces. Here’s an example parrilla recipe from Argentina:

What is so special about the parrilla?
user
Well the parrilla is the grill itself.  In fact I think the word for grill or grilled-food in Spanish is “parrillada”.  It’s made of thick steel bars, about five centimeters thick.  They all come together in a stack at one end, and the grill surface is at the other end.  It’s placed on top of a chimney of burning charcoal, which gives off heat.  The grill surface is at about the same height as the charcoal below, which is a key point for achieving good grill marks and a good temperature.

That's interesting. It's always nice to hear some background information about the food we eat.
