A list of Colombian Cookout or Asado Colombiano recipes perfect for your next summer party or picnic.
In Colombias, we don't need a reason to plan an asado - we just need a couple of friends or family members, music, food and aguardiente or beer!
Here is a list of recipes to make during your next cookout or picnic. If you are looking for an inspired Colombian summer party this post is perfect.
If you need extra sides for your next cookout here is my salads category with delicious and fresh recipes
