Chorizo chorizo is a type of sausage found in spain that is popular in a lot of South-American countries. Directions Grind all the pork butts with a 1/4" grinding plate and place into a large bowl.
 * 10 || lbs || boneless pork butt, ground ||
 * 6 || Tbsp || salt ||
 * 1 || cup || vinegar ||
 * 5 || Tbsp || paprika ||
 * 3 || Tbsp || hot pepper, ground ||
 * 8 || cloves || fresh garlic, pressed ||
 * 1 || Tbsp || oregano ||
 * 2 || tsp || black pepper, coarse ground ||
 * 1 || cup || water ||

If it's too much trouble to grind your own, just buy ground pork. Add all remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly until all the spices are evenly distributed. Stuff the chorizo into a 1-1/2 inch (40 milimeter) hog casing. Hang chorizo to dry overnight in a cool dry place. Drying time for this chorizo recipe will be a little longer than most.

Faina

faina is a nutty, peppery flatbread made with garbanzo bean (chickpeas) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">Ingredients:

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">• 3 3/4 cups water

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">• 2 1/3 cups Italian chick pea flour

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">• 1 teaspoon salt

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">• rosemary (optional)

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">• 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">• ground pepper

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">• parmessan cheese (4 tablespoons)

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">• onion powder (around 2 tablespoons) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">// Preparation: //

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">1. Mix the water and the flour with a wooden spoon or a whisk; make sure there are no lumps, add salt to taste, and mix again.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">2. Add the rosemary, the parmessan cheese and the onion powder and let it sit for a while (one to three hours or even better overnight).

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">3. At this point add the olive oil. Remove the rosemary and pour in a baking pan.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">It should be about an eighth of an inch thick, perhaps a little more. Put it in a preheated oven at 190-200° C (375-400° F). [I have found some recipes that say you should put the pan in your pizza stone or the hottest part of your oven for 15 minutes and then put it in a colder spot, usually the middle or the top, for 20 minutes more].

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">4. Remove from the oven when one of the corners (or the edge) starts to appear dark. Sprinkle plenty of pepper and serve.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">It is of paramount importance that the pan is perfectly flat and level when in the oven, otherwise one of the corners will be thicker and will be undercooked when the opposite corner starts to darken.

__**El Submarino- Argentinian Styled hot Chocolate**__
 * Hayley Davis & Nushra Ameer**
 * R2**
 * June 2013**

This is the easiest and most fun way to serve hot chocolate. El submarino is an Argentinian treat - a mug of hot milk with a thick rectangle of dark chocolate served alongside. The chocolate is the submarine, and should be "sunk" into the hot milk. As you stir, the milk becomes hot chocolate, and if you do it right, a nice treat of melted chocolate sludge waits for you at the bottom of the cup. Kids love to do this! A simple but great idea.

**Ingredients:**
 * 4 cups whole milk
 * 1/4 cup sugar
 * 1 teaspoon sugar
 * 4 ounces bars of good quality dark chocolate. broken into 1 ounce pieces

**Preparation:** This recipe s erves 4 For the full page, click here --> []
 * 1) Pour the milk into a saucepan. Stir in the sugar and the vanilla.
 * 2) Heat milk until it is just about to boil. Remove from heat and divide milk into 4 mugs. Serve each mug with a piece of the chocolate.

__** Argentinian Picada- Sampler Tray of Meats and Cheeses, Argentinian- Style **__

A picada is a wonderful Argentinian tradition of serving a tray of artfully arranged finger foods for everyone to share. It's a genius idea for entertaining - people simply "pick" at the foods (the name picada comes from the Spanish verb picar) while they socialize. A picada can be an appetizer, especially before an [|asado] (meal from the grill) or as a late night supper/snack among friends. Picadas can include anything you like (be creative!) but the most typical ingredients are preserved meats, cheeses, olives, other pickled vegetables, french fries, slices of bread, and peanuts.

Ingredients: (These are just suggestions...)

 * Cubes of cheese - cheddar, monterey jack, farmer's cheese
 * Dried Fruit
 * Slices of [|French bread]

**Preparation:** Arrange cheeses decoratively on a tray. Serve bread and nuts in small bowls on the side, and provide toothpicks or forks and small plates to guests.
