Recipe of Pulmay

Vida Recetas Editorial

Pulmay is a traditional Chilean dish that combines seafood, meats, and potatoes in a steam cooking method, perfect for those seeking a hearty and flavorful meal. In this recipe, chicken is seared along with beef chuck and smoked pork ribs, creating a rich protein base complemented by longanizas, clams, and mussels. Small potatoes cook at the bottom, absorbing the juices from the meats and white wine, while cabbage leaves act as a natural lid that concentrates the aromas.

This dish is ideal for family gatherings or celebrations, as it is served directly from the pot, creating an impressive visual effect. Its preparation is simple, though it requires patience to sear each ingredient well and achieve evenly distributed layers. Pulmay originates from southern Chile, especially Chiloé, where the bounty of sea and land is celebrated. You can adapt the seafood according to availability, but the classic combination of clams and mussels is unbeatable.

If you're looking for an authentic culinary experience, this chicken pulmay will transport you to the Chiloé stoves. Go ahead and prepare it to surprise your guests with a dish full of tradition and flavor!
