This is a classic Chilean dish that was traditionally made with dried jerky meat. Nowadays, it’s more common to use fresh meat. Usually, beef is used, but I decided to use ground pork shoulder, which makes this stew really delicious. I also love mushrooms, so I added them for my own personal touch.

Steps

1

Prepare and cut all the ingredients. In a large skillet, heat the oil and sauté the garlic with the onion. Add the ground pork and brown it.
2

Add the cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Cook for 1 minute, being careful not to burn the spices. Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half. Add the mushrooms, cover, and cook until they release their liquid. Add the potatoes, squash, and broth. Cover, and when halfway cooked, add the green beans, carrot, and corn. Cover again and cook until the potatoes and squash are tender.
3

Add the Swiss chard and peas, and cook for 2 more minutes. Add a little more liquid if needed. Personally, I prefer charquicán not too soupy. Let the stew rest. Season the red onion with olive oil, rosé wine vinegar, and salt.
4

TO SERVE: Place the charquicán in the center of the plate, top with the marinated onion and a little chopped cilantro, and finish with a fried egg on top. Sprinkle with more cilantro.
5

Charquicán served over grilled zucchini.
