Mote con huesillo is a typical Chilean non alcoholic drink from Coquimbo Region, but is actually consumed all over the country. It is made from dehydrated wheat (mote) that is rehydrated by boiling, that is mixed with dry peaches (huesillo) that have been rehydrated in water for hours. Finally the water in which the peaches were rehydrated is mixed with some sugar and the wheat is put inside a glass with the peaches and the sweet peach flavored water.Porotos Granados (Entree)
Porotos granados, a dish from Chile, is of Indian origin; porotos is the Indian word for cranberry beans. Also used in this dish are New World staples of beans, corn, squash, and occasionally pumpkin. However, the most important part of Porotos Granados is pebre, which is an orange-red mixture of garlic and paprika heated in oil. This spice gives the dish its color and Chilean cooks keep this mixture on hand, often in differing degrees of spiciness, to season any dish that needs a little more zip. The Chileans simply call pebre “color” as it gives the Porotos Granodos its orange-red coloring, and traditionally, the spice is only used in two things – any meat and Porotos Granodos.
