For an authentic Chilean dish, make this gluten free version of Chilean Corn Pie. The traditional name is Pastel de Choclo. Usually served with Pebre Sauce as so many dishes are, you’ll love the flavors as it brings you on a food trip to South America.
*Corn Substitute: If you do not have any corn on hand, microwave 3/4 cup yellow corn grits with 2 cups of water and 1 cup milk, covered for 4 minutes. Stir and continue to cook another 4 minutes, watching carefully because it can boil over easily during this period. If it bubbles up, just allow the bubbles to pop and continue cooking. You can also do this step on the stovetop. Once done, stir in the butter, basil, and season with salt and pepper. I like to also add about 1/2 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend (optional)
Make this recipe your own.
Perhaps you’d like to throw in a handful of Mexican blend shredded to cheese to the corn topping. Or, perhaps you’d like to add 1/4 cup mild or hot diced green chiles to the meat mixture. Add what you’d enjoy. I love the addition to about 2 or 3 tablespoons of raisins to the meat mixture. If you want them soft, add them when you add the broth. Otherwise, add them right before you add the mixture to the bowl, casserole dish, or Dutch oven.
Add the onion, and chiles if using, and sprinkle everything with chili powder pepper, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Saute the mixture until the onion is tender, about 8 minutes.
Pour in the broth bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and set aside. This can also be made the day before and refrigerate, covered.
Add the corn and other vegetables, if using. Stir
occasionally allowing the corn to defrost if frozen and tenderize if fresh,
about 8 minutes.
Distribute the beef mixture to ovenproof bowls, casserole dish, or Dutch oven. Add raisins if desired.
Spread the corn mixture over the top.
To aid in browning, you may sprinkle the top with granulated sugar. Bake 25 minutes and until bubbly and the top is golden brown.
*Chiffonade: Roll the basil leaves like a cigar and thinly slice.
