PASTEL DE CHOCLO O MAIZ CON ALBAHACA


Este pastel de choclo o maiz es uno de los platos màs ricos de nuestro paìs.

Cuando llegaron los españoles el choclo o maiz ya se comìa y se usaba incluso para hacer pan (harina de maiz) y como los españoles trajeron, pollos,carnes, cerdos etc. de apoco se fusionaron algunas comidas como esta, en que se hace una mezcla de carne o pollo (o ambas) y se cubre con la pasta de choclo/Maiz y se lleva al horno.

Como muchas recetas que he dado se puede hacer con choclo fresco, congelados o en botes o tarros.
Este plato antes lo haciamos casi solo en verano, ahora lo hago en invierno con pasta de choclo congelada y queda muy rico.

Esta es la receta que hacemos mi mamà y yo.



Ingredientes para la pasta de choclo

8 choclos frescos del tipo de grano amarillo grande(picados y molidos en procesadora o juguera) o 2 tarros de mezcla de choclo o una bolsa de 1 kg. pasta de choclo congelado.
6 a 8 hojas de albahaca picada
1 /2 litro de leche
sal y pimienta
2 huevos batidos
azùcar granulada para espolvorear

Ingredientes para el relleno del pastel

600 gramos de carne de vacuno molida o procesada
1 cebolla picada
1 diente de ajo picado
3 cucharadas de aceite
1 cucharada de pimentòn en polvo
sal y pimienta
3 huevos duros cortados
pasas (optativo)
aceitunas(optativo)
si se quiere se puede agregar una pechuga de pollo ya cocida cortada en trozos.

Mètodo para cocinar la pasta de choclo

Cocinar la pasta a fuego lento o medio sin dejar de revolver hasta que pierda el sabor a crudo, añada pequeñas cantidades de leche de a poco , agregue la albahaca picada y los huevos batidos, sazone con sal y pimienta.Siga revolviendo suavemente hasta que estè suave y cremoso.

Mètodo para el relleno

Saltear la cebollay ajo en un sartèn, añada el pimentòn, pimienta y sal y deje a fuego suave agregue la carne y cocine bien. Reserve.

En platos pequeños de greda o ceràmica o pyrex ( si no en un pyrex grande se hace el mismo proceso) colocar una porciòn del relleno, rebanadas de huevo (pasas y aceitunas) y si le coloca pedazos de pollo tambien.
Yo lo hago solo con la mezcla de carne y queda muy bien.
Verter sobre el pino la mezcla de choclo o maiz y espolvorear con azùcar granulada y llevar a horno por unos 20 minutos hasta que tome un color dorado.


Nota: Para los que vengan a Chile alguna vez les recomiendo comprar estas pailitas de greda, son fantàsticas no solo para el pastel, se puede hacer pollo al jugo, chupes de mariscos etc. y se calientan muy bien en microondas.

Incluso ahora en los Supermercados venden el pastel o chupe en estas pailitas y uno las puede guardar para despues.

Normally is made with a vanilla's sauce (delicious too) but the other day in cook class to make something different I make a dulce de leche's sauce with this and everybody loves it.

Ingredients

1 liter normal milk

1 1/4 cup of sugar

1 teaspoonful of vanilla

4 large eggs

pinch of salt

150 grs. of Dulce de leche

In some countries don't have Dulce de Leche, so I find other method that I find so good in a blog of Lauriel's Kitchen, if you want you may boil 2 or3 cans and save for

other recipes or to eat with bread at breakfast.

" To make homemade Dulce de Leche remove and discard labels from cans of sweetned condensed milk. Place the unopened cans into a large sauce pan and pour enough water to cover 1 or 2 inchs. Bring water to boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer for 3 hours aprox. adding more water as needed to keep cans completely covered, do not let boil dry or below cans. Drain, and let to cool to room temperature before opening.Don't open hot is so dangerous.

You may place the cans in cold water when are ready to cool.

Method Snow Milk with Dulce de leche's sauce

Place in a sauce pan the milk, 3/4 of sugar and the vanilla, warm to medium heat and cook by 5 minutes, take away and let rest by 10 minutes.

For while, in a bowl place the whites of the eggs and the pinch of salt, whip until be firm, add the rest of sugar and continue whip to make a good meringue.

Now, return to the sauce pan with the mix of milk and vanilla, and place the pot to medium heat and add spoonfuls of meringue to cook by two minutes, cook all and take away and reserve the meringue in a dish.

In a bowl beat the yellows and add to cups and half of the mix milk and vanilla and join all,place in a pot to slow heat and until is thicken, cut the heat and add the Dulce de leche, join well and let cool.

In little pyrex or other you may serve the Dulce de leche cream and put the meringues above of this cream. You may podwer with cinammon too if you like.

Dulce de leche's ice cream

For these times many people question for Dulce de Leche at Restaurants and many of these are making some desserts with Dulce de Leche. This recipe is adapted from one of Cheff Anna Olson from Canadà, who has very good sweet recipes. I think this recipe is delicious and easy.

Ingredientes

2 tins sweetened condensed milk

3 cups whipping cream

1 cup of milk

1 teaspoon vainilla extrac

dash of salt

Method

Place the condensed milk in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium to slow heat, until golden brown in colour, stirring constantly for about 10-12 minutes.The caramel will turn thicker as it cooks, but constant stirring will ensure an even colour.

Remove the caramel from heat and whisk in cream and milk a little at a time,being careful for steam that comes off the hot caramel milk when cream is added. Add salt, stir in vainilla extract and cool mix completely.

I don't have an ice cream maker, so I make how following, place the ice cream in extend glass pyrex and freeze 1 hour, take out and whip slowly and put again at the freeze for 1/2 hour more.

If you have an icream maker, following the manufacturer`s instructiones when the cream is ready to freeze.

You may serve, with pieces of fruit, or chocolate's sauce or pieces of hard chocolate, always is nice.

Talking about wines.......

This pictures is taken by of balcony at a vineyard in Santa Cruz, Central valley, Chile.

Many these vineyard have beautiful and antiques houses, and some of them have restaurants

with very good food, and wines of course.

This lovely picture is Casablanca Valley, and the experts say that for weather, temperature and other things is the best place for wines, specially sauvignon blanc. The climate of the central Valley is described as mediterranean or temperate.

Each vine variety has specific adaptation requirements, in accordance with the differents types or wines which can be vinified from its grapes.



And the works begins grapevines and even before, with the appropiate selection of the vine variety, given the existing climate and soil.

Some of you know Chile for their so good wines and for this I was thinking to posted about wines of our country and show some of their beautiful vineyards.

I'm not an expert but I love wines, and I like so investigate about foods and wines, many times when I give recipe I like to know about it history.

Well, to left, one of my favorites, Riesling of Undurraga ( a very antique vineyard) is a fresh

white, I love so the whites because are very fresh and go well with many foods.

But I love so one red wine that is the most best I taste, Santa Digna of Miguel Torres, this spanish man have vineyards in Spain and come to Chile and make it again, have wonderful vineyard and wines.

The history of chilean vineyards and the wines begin about the year 1548, when arrived at the country the first plants of France and they adapted so well here to the variations of temperature. The climate of the Central valley is decribed as mediterranean an temperate.

On top at the right a very antique and nice drawing of the first vineyards here. This is of the Macul's vineyards.Is one of the most antiques vineyards of here.

About wine varieties: The grape wines introduced to Chile in the middle of the century are almost all for noble stock.These wine varieties were imported from France and adapted here, we have Cabernet Sauvignon,Merlot and Pinot noir.

And the whites we have, sauvignon blanc and chardonnay which was only introduced the last years.And the in the most young of the whites we have Riesling from Germany.







Characteristics of red wines

Cabernet Sauvignon: Originally from Bordeaux, France, these grapes produce poweful and aromatic vines, the experts think is the king of the red wines. Smell to cinnamom, blueberrys and chocolat. The best are from California, Australia, Maipo (Chile), and Mendoza (Argentina.





Carmenere: Arrive about s. 19 from France, and smell to cherries, notes of vainilla and herbs.





Merlot: Is different from cabernet sauvignon, more sweet and more smooth, smell to tabacco, and coffe and sometimes cinnamon.





Pinot noir: From France, this grapes variety produces wines with good aroma and body. Smell to vainilla,and strawberries. Of some pinot noir making excellent champagne.





Syrah: The best young of the wines, smell to cinnamon, and cloves, raspberries and pepper.















Characteristics of whites wines

Sauvignon blanc: Is an aromatic white with good acidity levels. Fresh and sparkling, the saugvinon blanc is so lovely, and is a mix of green apples, hierbs, honey and peach.In the Central Valley (Casablanca) smell to red apples or quinces, because the Pacific Ocean refresh this wine.





Chardonnay:Called the king of the whites for someones, This variety is in all the world for this cappacity to adapt oneself to differents types of weather.Smell to fruits,caramel, toffe and raisins.









Riesling: Comes from Germany and Austria. Here in Casablanca thanks to the Humbold current we have excellents Riesling. Is an aromatic wine with smell of fruits,flowers and hazel nuts.







Gewürztraminer: Of German origin, this is one of the most intensely aromatic grapes. Intense and potent, green and floral, fresh and someones with aroma of peaches.























For the last some wines for some foods. I know the majority know about wines but think in somebody who wants to know about wines.

.





To meats, birds,lambs,pastas with tomatoes, some pizzas,ckichens, cheese souflee, ans some quiches, red wines.













To fishes, prawns, shellfish, some carpaccio, pastas with white sauces and pesto,veggies, salmon,quiches of veggies,artichockes and asparagaus, white wines.




But in all cases I think is a personal choose that if you want some food with some wine is OK.

The nice is enjoy the food and the wines.Cheers!!!
