Pastel de Choclo is made up of a beef and onion filling, known as pino, sandwiched between layers of a blended corn mixture. Slices of hard boiled egg, olives, and raisins are laid on top of the beef and onion filling before adding the final corn layer. One of the things that makes this dish especially unique is that the top is lightly sprinkled with sugar before going into the oven, which caramelizes during cooking.
