Recipes for Chilean Stews
Charquicán:
Ingredients
· ½ kilo of casserole beef
· 1 large onion
· 4 large potatoes
· ¼ kilo of pumpkin
· 2 cloves of garlic
· ½ cup of oil
· 2 teaspoons of paprika
· 1 pinch of pepper
· 1 ½ teaspoons of oregano
· 1 pinch of cumin
· 1 ½ teaspoons of salt
Method
Finely dice the meat and tenderise it. Fry it in a casserole dish for 10 minutes and add the diced potatoes, pumpkin, onion and garlic together with the rest of the ingredients and fry for a further 10 minutes. Add boiling water (just enough to cover the mixture) and cook until the potatoes are soft. With a fork mash the potatoes and pumpkin slightly.
Mix paprika with oil to make a dressing and pour it over the stew once it has been plated. Serve with pickled onions and pickled green chillies.
