Home cooking attempt — Mote con Huesillo from scratch
I spent an afternoon making Mote con Huesillo from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting pebre herb salsa right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The fresh from the sea result was rewarding once I got it right.
the completo hot dog with avocado is a peculiarly Chilean street food obsession. I served it with Carménère as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Mote con Huesillo yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
