In millions of backyards across Southern California, an asada means a gathering of family, friends, great music, cold drinks, good times, and community—all centred around the primal allure of juicy, smoky grilled meat with flavours and spices traditional to Mexico
The smell of asada is a cloud of joy that lingers in the streets of Los Angeles. With Asada: The Art of Mexican-Style Grilling, Mexican food authority, Bricia Lopez, is back with more than 100 recipes that show you how to prepare the right dishes and drinks for your next carne asada gathering
Asada will both guide you in crafting mouthwatering food and inspire the right laidback atmosphere. Everyone says they love a spicy margarita and asada tacos, but very few understand the culture that informs these flavours
Divided into the eight crucial elements of any carne asada: botanas (appetizers), carnes (meats), mariscos (seafood), side dishes and vegetables, salsas, aguas frescas, cocktails, and dessert, Asada walks you through every step. From Lopez’s secret “michelada marinade” to game-changing salsas that will elevate any grilled meat, this cookbook is the ultimate guide to making and beginning to understand the magic of asada
