Guasacaca (Barbecue Sauce from Venezuela)

Wednesday, 11 November 2009

Description

This is by far the most unusual barbecue sauce in Latin America. Because 
it contains fresh avocados, it must be used immediately and cannot be
stored. Use it to marinate and/or baste grilled or barbecued shrimp,
beef slices, or chicken.
