Mendoza gastronomy has the typical taste of the field. Their best dishes are born squeaky roasters and casseroles that know of laborious firings. Mendoza holidays offer an invaluable opportunity to enjoy one of the kitchens at the same time traditional and refined of the Argentina. A good breakfast or snack from Mendoza can not ignore the traditional hot sopaipillas. It’s small pancakes flour, lard and water that are fried in lard or fat until they are crisp and inflated. A variant are scraped or punctured, pancakes that carry fat in its preparation. In rural areas of Mendoza are traditional Greaves.

Typical Mendoza empanadas are onion, egg, olives and cut knife, barely cooked beef seared to keep it juicy and tempting. Roast in all its forms is accompanied by an incredible variety of salads, and traditional beef and veal incorporates the newness of the rabbit Grill. The chivito takes over from Mendoza grills, with a recipe whose name says it all: goat to the fire. Malargue, they claim, is as tender as unforgettable. But the goat not only let it do grilled.

The traditional stewed is a stew of this meat that is cooked patiently in the company of meats and spices, as a variant of the no less traditional meat to the pot. The famous Mendoza dressed paws are pork, and boiled with celery, basil, laurel and thyme. They are served accompanied by a dressing of garlic, parsley, paprika, onion, red pepper, olive oil, salt and vinegar. Chicken Casserole is another must-see of the Cuyo kitchen. The meat is boiled previously for tiernizarla, and as a last step is added to the cooking potato and egg mixture. Served with a garnish of fried garlic, onion and pepper. Sweet lovers won’t want to overlook traditional Mendoza tablets, tasty dumplings linked together by a two with dulce de alcayota or milk. Or the dream of every sweet tooth, the mendocino tableton, tablets Tower crowned by a great merengue snowflake. In Mendoza, the culinary tourism awakens so many passions as the incredible snow-covered landscapes. In the magical Cuyo province, the delicate flavors of wines and typical foods are printed in memory with the same force of the serene and majestic Andean landscape. Pure enjoyment.
