Wow - check this out. A real Chilean dish, like a peasant dish. And omg - soooooooooooo good. Cazuela de Vacuno. I ate it in a very cool bar yesterday for lunch, called Liguria, I wanted something light! Dear me! It's like a super broth, so wonderfully salty with sliced veges in it and rice, then one huge chunk of meat - in my case beef (but you can get it in chicken or fish, or other meats) and it has one huge potato whole, and one huge chunk of pumpkin, and one big chilli!! Oh myyyyyyyyyy it was good. It was a serve for one, and I ate about one third of it!
In Chile, food always starts with bread and this wonderful salsa type thing. Diced tomato, capsicum and onion with vinegar, garlic, salt, and often a lot of coriander....I haven't had a bad one yet - and the one at Liguria was FANTASTIC - hotter than I have had before and so tangy and coriandery! Mmmmmmmmmmm. You wack it on your bread and shove it in your gob (well, that's what I do anyway).
I sat at the window of the bar and watched the world go by for about an hour and a half. Oh this travelling thing is bliss. Sigh.
