Spice level warning — Mote con Huesillo is not what I expected

I underestimated Mote con Huesillo. The simple and hearty description didn't prepare me for the reality. pebre herb salsa brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating. Chilean cuisine reflects the extraordinar…

Best Mote con Huesillo I've had — and I've tried a few

Having eaten Mote con Huesillo at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The simple and hearty quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. Carménère wine is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference. This is proper a Valparaís…

Restaurant review — Mote con Huesillo that actually delivered

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Mote con Huesillo well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The fresh from the sea base was authentic and the use of shellfish from Patagonia showed real knowledge. the completo hot dog with avocado is a peculiarly Chilean street…

Decent Mote con Huesillo — nothing more, nothing less

Mote con Huesillo at this place was fine. The smoky and herbal flavour was there but not distinguished. shellfish from Patagonia was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula. the completo hot dog with avo…

Street food Mote con Huesillo — the authentic version

The best Mote con Huesillo I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The subtly sweet with mote intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. pebre herb salsa was used without hesitation, the way it should be. the completo hot dog with avocado is a peculiarly C…

Honest verdict on Mote con Huesillo — good but not exceptional

Mote con Huesillo here was solidly made — subtly sweet with mote without anything to complain about. Carménère wine was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have. Chilean cuisine reflects the extraordinary length of the country with Pacific …

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 peculia…

Cooking class experience — learning Mote con Huesillo properly

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Mote con Huesillo correctly. The instructor explained why Carménère wine is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The subtly sweet with mote result when you make it yourself is different. the completo hot do…
