About Pastel de choclo

Pastel de Choclo is a traditional Chilean dish made with a rich blend of ground corn (choclo), spiced meat, and a variety of savory fillings. This comforting casserole is typically layered with a base of seasoned ground beef or chicken, sometimes accompanied by hard-boiled eggs, olives, and raisins, all topped with a creamy and slightly sweet corn pudding. Beloved across Chile, it combines both indigenous and Spanish culinary influences. While the corn topping is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, the dish can also be calorie-dense due to the addition of sugar and animal fats. Moderation is key, as the blend of sweet and savory flavors provides satisfaction with balanced portions. A hearty and flavorful comfort food, Pastel de Choclo showcases the rich culinary heritage of South America.
