Meli,
What is the easiest dish to make when someone asks me to bring a Venezuelan dish to a party?

Fabi,
Thanks for your question, a very good question by the way. I was faced with the same question a couple of years ago, when I had to attend an office party and my boss wanted to try something Venezuelan. I had to think of something that was easy to prepare; something that didn’t need to be fried (or I would have gone with Tequeños); something that didn’t need to be served hot; something that people wouldn’t be afraid to try; and something that was easy to transport. Enter the GUASACACA. It was a total hit at the party and I was asked to bring it later on to other parties. You can’t go wrong with guasacaca, because it can be served as a dip at any party and if you are at a BBQ party you can suggest that people try it as a sauce on top of their grilled beef, chicken, or even inside their hamburgers. I always call it the Venezuelan Guacamole. You can try my original recipe, a more traditional recipe (same page), or even Venezuelan born and Food Network star Chef George Duran’s own recipe.

Grill a chicken and flood it with guasacaca! Yummy!
That sounds like a great idea Duncan. I love grilled chicken, but my husband thinks it’s boring. Maybe flooded in Guasacaca might change his mind
