The Chilean kitchen has Spanish and local indigenous influences. On his arrival in Chile, Pedro de Valdivia brought the bases of the future “Creole Feeding”: wheat, pigs, chickens, and oxen. The Araucanos provided the potatoes, corn and bean (porotos). These ingredients were mixed and the typical dishes of Chile were born.
A specialty in the Chilean kitchen is this wonderful raw salsa, perfect as a tasty topping on grilled meats, soups and stews or as a side salad.

- Put them in a bowl and add onion rings, red chilli pepper and chopped coriander.
