Pastel de Choclo - AKA Chilean Corn Pie (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)
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!

I love your dish, the background, your props, all amazing. The wood plates are super cool. Like @fullofhope said, thanks for leaving that one ingredient out, that's one ingredient I do not like, at all.
Haha, well I knew that so it's like it was just for you! Thanks @noboxes
I remember going to the little tiny restaurants in Chile and ordering this dish. Thanks for leaving that one ingredient out, not my favorite. Gorgeous pics as always
Thank you so much @fullofhope!
You left out the olives! (thank goodness... I don't know why ppl leave olives with pits inside...) And also the beef and sugar. lol Sugar seems so out of left field. But I'd love the recipe! I don't think we've ever tried Chilean food!
It's perhaps the tastiest corn recipe I've ever seen! I think shrimp will make it even more delicious. Thanks for posting.
Shrimp is a great idea, thanks so much for the suggestion!
