This is\u00a0an experience in itself<\/strong>\u00a0or else the ideal ending if you have time and want to keep enjoying the day for a few hours, after doing another activity such as trekking, horseback riding or visiting a winery. To\u00a0cook a lamb on a metal cross over an open fire<\/strong>\u00a0takes about four hours. You may arrive when the lamb is almost ready to eat, and the table set, or you can also watch the whole process while you cook your own churrascas (kneaded bread baked on the grill<\/strong>\u00a0close to the fire), prepare the choripan (chorizo and bread<\/strong>) and taste the\u00a0local cheese<\/strong>,\u00a0pat\u00e9 made from wild boar meat<\/strong>\u00a0or the arrollado huaso (delicious homemade pork roll<\/strong>). Everything, of course, accompanied by an\u00a0excellent local wine<\/strong>.

It is a perfect experience for summer and winter. The lamb, to be well done, must be cooked on a big fire and needs\u00a0 glowing embers during the whole process. In other words, a lot of heat. With a single roasted lamb\u00a0and the\u00a0accompaniment of the\u00a0appetizers\u00a0<\/span>described above,\u00a0up to ten persons can eat<\/strong>.<\/span>

There is a tradition that comes from the Mapuches (one of the Chilean native people) related to this experience that is still alive, the\u00a0\u00d1achi<\/strong>\u00a0ritual. \u00d1achi means blood in mapudungun, the language of the Mapuches. During the lamb’s sacrifice, its blood is collected in a bowl with cilantro, merken, onion, garlic and salt. Then it is stirred and lemon juice is added. When the blood is coagulated, it is cut into small squares and served with wine. It is a very tasty dish full of proteins and vitamins, that makes you relaxed and sleepy.<\/div>
If you like traditional local food, and eating by a fire out in the open air in the countryside,\u00a0don\u00b4t miss this experience!<\/strong>
