Has anyone tried making Pastel de Choclo? I’ve been wanting to give it a shot but am not sure about the ingredients or the cooking time.

Hi Marco,
Making Pastel de Choclo is a rewarding experience! Here are the main ingredients you'll need:
  • Ground meat: Usually a mix of beef and chicken.
  • Onion: For flavor.
  • Boiled eggs: For texture.
  • Olives: A nice touch for added taste.
  • Corn: Fresh or canned, blended into a paste for the topping.

The cooking time is around 1 hour in the oven after assembling. You can find detailed recipes online or even some video tutorials that can guide you. It’s delicious, so I encourage you to try it out!

You're welcome, Juan!
Pastel de Choclo is often served with a side of salad, particularly a fresh green salad or a simple tomato salad. You might also consider making a pebre salsa to accompany the dish, which adds a burst of flavor. Enjoy your cooking!
