Patagonian Lamb and Pinot. El Calafate, Argentina
January 2020 A must have on any trip to Patagonia. But beware, even lamb for one is an enormous portion and a meal in itself, even without any sides. Impressive to see, several lamb carcasses are tied to crosses over a pit of fire. Different cuts, ribs and all, then served at the table over a pot of glowing embers. Tasty and tender but incredibly rich – I’ve never experienced such rich lamb before. For a change from Malbec, try it with a glass of Patagonian Pinot Noir at La Tablita in El Calafate. Lima (butter) beans A great little bar snack, particularly when marinated in oil and (chilli peppers).
