Churrasco, Chilean Sandwich

October 18, 2013 by Pilar Hernandez 4 Comments

Versión en español

In Chile, bread is king, delicious, plentiful and cheap. We eat it alone, with our meals o as a “sanguches” (Chilean for the sandwich), this Churrasco is one of the foundational ones.

This month in the BRBC the challenge is to bring back a traditional Chilean Sanguche. I chose the Chilean Churrasco: just a good steak grilled or pan-seared with a delicious Chilean salad (tomato and onions). Glorious!

    No Mayo= Not a Chilean Churrasco… Not true to the original recipe, sorry.

    It looks good, but as a Chilean I can say the Complete Churrasco has meat, sauerkraut, tomato, avocado and mayo. There are other variations as the Italian Churrasco, meat, tomato, avocado and mayo, Churrasco Palta, meat and avocado. My favorite one is the Chacarero. Meat, cooked green beans (al dente) little oil over the beans, chopped habanero (depending how spicy you like) tomato, mayo (optional: avocado)
