The culinary scenes in Chile and Argentina are considered by many to be vibrant, rich in culture and cutting edge. Their staple ingredient is predominantly beef however one can also indulge in the freshest of seafood, an abundance of produce and countless artisan purveyors creating unique olive oils, cheese, prosciutto and more. The restaurants and wineries we visited during our seven day tour led by Jeremy Shaw from Iberian Wine Tours, Jessica Bell from Halo Vino and Karen Bell from Bavette La Boucherie presented us with the best of the best these countries had to offer. I was so inspired upon returning home I created these three dishes based on my own fond memories. I hope these images and recipes inspire you to step foot in your kitchen or perhaps book a trip of your own.
