Chilean ajiaco

April 15, 2019 por Carolina Rojas 1 Comment

Jump to Recipe

Utilizing the leftovers from the typical meals of the Chilean Independence Day celebrations, I considered ideal to prepare this recipe using such leftovers. During such celebrations is when Chilean people get enthusiastic about cooking, but mostly focusing on empanadas (Chilean calzone), pebre (a type of condiment sauce), choripanes (chorizo sandwich), and so on. But at the time when the meats are ready on the barbecue, at least I feel already full. This recipe is very traditional in Chile, a delicious soup. But if you do not have grilled meat, it can still be prepared with some meat that is previously seasoned and roasted in the oven.
