Argentine chili

Spice up life with a touch of spice and you will see everything in a different way! It makes us suffer if it is too intense, but… we love it! Could it be because eating spicy lengthens life? Or maybe because it challenges us? Coming from the other part of the world, from Latin America, where people dance and live in a different way, the Argentinian chili comes to us to give a spiciness and special point, above all, to our meats. It is the spice that is closest to our paprika and is compatible with many dishes.

Argentine meat, the quintessential food of the Latin American country, is not the same without the touch of ground chili. It does not matter if it is in empanadillas or in a steak ready to serve on the plate, chili is essential.

Do you want to try it? Here are some ideas for you to unleash your most cooking version:

• Argentine chicken and beef empanadas: the star ingredient? meat, but not without its favorite spice: Argentine chili. The ground chili in this recipe will provide an intense flavor and will leave lovers of spiciness speechless. Other very important ingredients will be puff pastry, eggs, onion, and olive oil. Season the meat, wrap it with the puff pastry, and, together with the rest of the ingredients, take it to the oven.
• Baked pork steak with chimichurri: if you prefer, you can make the traditional sauce to accompany your favorite meat. To make the chimichurri you will need parsley, a clove of garlic, olive oil, vinegar, water, salt, pepper, and, of course, ground chili. You just have to mix it in a bowl in the exact amounts and when the steak is ready, add it on top and enjoy!
