Pastel de choclo

Pastel de choclo is basically a mashed corn pie filled with pino, a common Chilean mixture of ground beef, onions, basil, and paprika.

Empanada de pino

Completo

The original is a pork sausage on a bun with smashed avocado, sauerkraut, diced tomatoes, mayonnaise, and “salsa americana”, a relish of pickled vegetables.

Barros luco/chacarero
