How Argentinian cuisine cooks with garlic

Argentinian cooking revolves around fire and beef — patient asado grilling finished with the herbaceous punch of chimichurri. When Argentinian cooks work with garlic, they reach for garlic, parsley, oregano, red wine vinegar and good beef, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, grilling, boiling and searing.

In this collection it's most often cooked with olive oil, fine sea salt, dried oregano, red wine vinegar, parsley and onion. The dishes here span argentinian classics ready in as little as 15 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.

Choosing & preparing garlic

How to choose

Pick firm, heavy heads with tight, papery skin and no green shoots or soft spots. Fresh garlic far outperforms jarred pre-minced, which tastes flat and slightly sour.

Prep & storage

Crush to release more of its pungent compounds, slice for a milder bite, or roast whole until jammy and sweet. Add minced garlic late and keep it moving — it burns and turns bitter in seconds.

Nutrition

Eaten in small amounts, but a source of allicin and other sulphur compounds linked to heart and immune benefits.

Classic flavour partners: olive oil, chilli, ginger, parsley, lemon, butter
