Summertime is the perfect time to enjoy a delicious South American feast around the pool with your friends and family. This blog post will show you how to create an impressive spread of authentic South American dishes that will amaze your guests. From empanadas to churrasco! So gather your ingredients and get ready to cook up a storm!

 1) To begin your South American feast;

Start with some traditional appetizers like empanadas. These savory pastries are traditionally filled with beef, chicken, or vegetables and served with a side of chimichurri sauce for dipping. Empanadas can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Furthermore, they are delicious, both hot and cold, so they can be served straight out of the oven or chilled.

 2) Move on to some main dishes;

A classic South American dish is churrasco! This flavorful steak dish is marinated in garlic, oregano, and other spices and then grilled over an open flame. Serve it up with a side of chimichurri sauce for extra flavor. To add some additional flair to your meal, try adding a few sprigs of rosemary or thyme directly onto the grill for added aroma and flavor.

3) Some delicious side dishes;

No South American feast is complete without a few tasty side dishes. Classic sides include fried plantains, yuca fries, and spicy black beans. For the perfect pairing, whip up some homemade guacamole or fresh salsa to add flavor and texture to your meal. You can even choose a few quinoa salad recipes from foolproofliving.com to make a lighter addition to the feast.

 4) Finish off your meal with a selection of desserts;

To finish your feast, try traditional South American desserts such as dulce de leche ice cream. These are soft cookies filled with dulce de leche in the center, then sandwiched together and rolled in coconut flakes. Dulce de leche ice cream is a sweet and creamy treat made using condensed milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt for an added kick. Both of these dessert options are sure to be loved by everyone!

 5) Decorations and entertainment;

Now that you have prepped your food, it’s time to decide on decorations. To give the space a tropical feel, hang some bright Papel Picado flags around your pool area and string up some colorful paper lanterns. Add in some comfy seating options and a few palm trees to really get guests into the South American spirit. In addition, you can also provide some traditional South American entertainment, such as samba or salsa dancers.

 In conclusion, with a few simple steps and the right ingredients, you can create an unforgettable South American feast around the pool. Your friends and family will be sure to enjoy all the delicious food, decorations, and entertainment that you have prepared! Bon Appétit. Remember to take photos as memories as you are sure to be having a lot of fun! Now, all that’s left is to invite over your friends and family and enjoy the feast. Have fun!
