Recipes from Chile
Cooking this selection
The Chilean selection brings together corn pie, pino empanadas, cazuela and sopaipillas. Prepare pino before assembling pie or empanadas; cooling makes handling easier and helps control moisture. For cazuela, add vegetables according to their cooking needs so they do not collapse while meat softens.
Planning the preparation
Begin with filling and cazuela when preparing several dishes. Check the corn or squash type in each entry before substituting because moisture can change. Finish sopaipillas close to serving and drain without stacking. For corn pie, check the filling as well as the browned topping.
