Charquican - The Traditional Chilean Stew

Wena cabros! It's The Chilean Cooking Show!

Today we are making Charquicán, a stew originally made by the Mapuche tribe, one of the many natives of our land!

Ingredients:

-2 tablespoons of olive oil
-1/2 white onion
-1/2 red bell pepper
-2 cloves of garlic
-150grs of ground beef/tip steak (originally it was made with horse jerky)
-1/2 cup of (boilding) water
-2 large potatoes
-1 large carrot
-1 cup of pumpkin (zapallo)
-corn, peas and green beans (as much as you want, sorry we chileans tend to be very vague with proportions :P )
-1 teaspoon of cumin
-2 teaspoons of paprika
-salt & pepper to taste (a real cook adds pinches of salt as he/she adds the big ingredients, don't wait until the end to add all the salt)
-1 egg per portion

This channel was created for the ex-exchange students who come to Chile with AFS, so they learn to cook the dishes they enjoyed here.

If you are in high-school and want to study for a whole year as an exchange student in another country, leave a comment, since I'm a volunteer I can answer your questions!
