Summary: <br> Churrasco is Brazil’s version of cowboy barbecue. <br> Invented by the gauchos, the Brazilian horsemen who herded cattle in the Rio <br> Grande do Sul region of Southern Brazil, Churrasco was originally a method of <br> spit roasting cuts of meat by the fire. Today, the steakhouse style restaurants <br> continuing this tradition of cowboy cooking are known as Churrascarias. <br> Enormous automated charcoal and wood rotisseries have replaced the outdoor fire <br> pits, but the slow roasting and basting process remains much as it was nearly <br> two centuries ago. <br> <br> For recipes, visit <a href="http://www.ciaprochef.com/WCA">www.ciaprochef.com/WCA</a> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://cia.podbean.com/mf/web/r2xqb2/Brazil_14_Churrascaria_YT.mov">Download Podcast Video</a><br>
