This is a marinade for the churrasco dish. In Argentina, where this style of cooking developed, “churrasco” actually refers to many types of meats prepared on the grill. It’s also popular with Nicaraguans. The churrasco cut steak is a long flat cut of skirt steak, cut from the “plate” of the cow. You might find it sold at some butcher shops as a “plate” steak. Don’t confuse it with the flank steak, a similar cut, but NOT the same! The churrasco steak is typically marinated to make it tender and full of flavour. Serve topped with Recipe #456210. I did not include marinating time. Enjoy!
Usually cilantro chutney in Afghanistan restaurants in the US do not contain mint, and have a stronger vinegar flavor. If that is what you are looking for, adjust the recipe accordingly. This is a slightly different version that I came up with.
This is a classic Algerian ‘salad’ dish. You can either grill the tomatoes & peppers over an open flame, deep fry them or roast them. My family loves this recipe & we always mop it up with fresh bread! You can also serve this as part of a mezze selection. The vinegar is of course optional but it acts as a flavour enhancer so I do recommend at least trying a little of the salad with a few drops of vinegar on!
Here is my traditional recipe for Ros Bratel, which is a very old recipe from Algeria. It is simple to make with just a few ingredients & is really delicious. Eat it with plenty of fresh crusty bread for an inexpensive, light meal or have it as a side to roasted meats etc.
Garlic and spices. If you wanted to use canned beans, heat them up and pour sauce on them so it will not take long to make, or frozen green beans will get you closer to fresh tasting.
