Give sopaipillas some Chilean flavor using zapallo, a white-shelled squash with orange flesh. Boiled until soft, the squash is stirred into dough, which is rolled out and cut into circles then fried into crisp appetizers or snacks.

Living In: Quillota, Valparaíso, Chile
Chilean cuisine is as varied as the terrain of the country itself. The breads of Chile are celebrated for their diversity of shape, flavor, and texture. Dobladitas are a Chilean quick bread, rolled out, cut into circles, and folded in layers before baking. They are tender and flaky when served warm out of the oven.

Shrimp is marinated in lime juice to cook, then mixed with tomato, cilantro, onion and a special sauce. You can save a couple of whole shrimps to dangle on the edge of the tumbler for a special presentation. The lime and the cilantro are the key, and of course fresh shrimp.

Pisco is a style of brandy common to Peru and Chile which has a bit of a tequila flavor. The egg white gives this tangy drink a smooth, full body. Don't forget the bitters, they're the secret ingredient!

This a great sandwich which is well known here in Chile. Creamy chicken with cooked bell pepper gives this sandwich a nice taste!! You can also make them with cocktail bread for a great appetizer! You can use up to double the mayonnaise for a creamier texture. 

Ajiaco (Beef and Pepper Stew)

Submitted by: damasio 
This is my take on the ubiquitous Latino stew, ajiaco. This version uses leftover roast beef, sweet red peppers, and creamy baby potatoes simmered together in a spicy broth.

This hearty Chilean stew of beef, corn, and pumpkin is a one dish meal. The main ingredients are stewed in serving-sized pieces, so that each person receives a large piece surrounded by a broth with the other vegetables.

Chicken is stewed with peas and carrots in white wine and chicken broth. Upon serving, it is topped with a generous helping of fried potatoes. This is a traditional dish passed in my family from generation to generation - for more than 300 years! All the way from Galicia, via Chile, to you.

Isa's Cola de Mono

Submitted by: Wonder Wanda 
This is a traditional Chilean Christmastime drink of milk flavored with coffee and spices, passed down to me by our Chilean nanny Isa. It is delicious, and a must-try if you don't care for egg-nog. The recipe can be varied to suit your tastes - be creative with the proportions of coffee, cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla, as well as with your choice of liqueurs.
