Recipe of Disc cooking

Vida Recetas Editorial

Disc cooking is one of the most emblematic recipes of Chilean cuisine, perfect for those seeking a hearty and flavorful dish. This technique, which is done on a plow disc, combines meat such as pork, chicken, beef, and sausages with a variety of vegetables and seafood, resulting in a concentrated and aromatic broth that conquers any diner. It is ideal for outdoor gatherings or family celebrations, as its slow cooking and the use of the disc allow flavors to blend uniquely.

Why this recipe works

The secret lies in searing the meats and cooking over high heat with a lid, which enhances juices and creates a broth full of nuances. White wine or beer adds acidity and depth, while seafood like mussels and clams adds a marine touch that balances the dish.

Variations and tips

  • You can adjust the seafood according to your taste or availability.
  • If you don't have a disc, a large wok or a heavy-bottomed pot works well.
  • Serve with Chilean bread or boiled potatoes to enjoy the broth.
