Pastel de choclo (Corn Pie), is a pastel food based on sweetcorn or choclo, the quechua word for “tender corn”, or the new corn of the season. It is a typical Argentine, Bolivian, Chilean and Peruvian dish. It is also similar to pastel de elote, found in Mexican cuisine, and to the English corn pudding. Pastel de choclo is traditionally served in a paila (earthenware bowl) in individual portions, as is typical for many traditional Chilean dishes such as paila marina, pastel de papa and caldillo de congrio. The filling usually contains ground beef, chicken, raisins, black olives, onions or slices of hard boiled egg.[1]
