I thought today I'd make another traditional Chilean recipe to share with you guys.

Today I’m gonna be more Chilean than gringa though. I made Pastel de Choclo, which is very similar to what would happen if a shepherd's pie married a tamale and had a kid. It’s very Chilean with all of the typical ingredients, raisins, olives, hardboiled eggs, and oregano.

I included nearly everything in mine because I wanted it to be as authentic as possible, but I couldn’t bring myself to add the olives. Personally, I love olives, but they don’t usually pit them here and adding them would have meant no one in my family would eat the finished product, so I nixed em.

Feel free to add them if they’re your thing. I also skipped the beef just because I didn’t have any on hand and I was already adding chicken, but they usually add both to this dish. Oh, and I didn’t do this, but it’s typically served with a dusting of powdered sugar on top. They really like things sweet, Chileans. Like at the movies, you can’t get salty popcorn, they only sell sweet. It’s weird

I will probably be making a trip back to my beloved little towns in Chile again in a few months but for now I'm off to Europe and Steemfest!

So I hope you’re excited about eating some Chilean food today with me because I’m celebrating traveling!
