A Chacarero is a traditional Chilean sandwich. It begins with homemade bread, that we make fresh daily. The main ingredient is either tender grilled steak or chicken (or both). Then with your main ingredient, we add steamed green beans, which gives it that authentic Chilean touch, Muenster cheese and fresh tomatoes. After that, we add an avocado spread, salt, pepper & our secret hot sauce to complete the sandwich. Of course any ingredient can be omitted, just let us know.
Pepper Sauce for Chacarero's (pebre-chilean Name)
2 medium onions 1 bunch cilantro 3 tablespoons red pepper paste 2 cloves garlic olive oil salt 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 tablespoon vinegar 2 tablespoons water
Cube the onion in small cubes Then add, sugar or salt or hot water and rinse, this is to neutralize the flavor of the onion (a trick often done in Caribean cooking i've found). Chop the cilantro and mix with the onion. Add: hot pepper paste, minced garlic, olive oil, vinegar, lime, water and salt to taste. Mix well and let stand. Serve on bread (Chacarero's sandwhich i posted) or on top of grilled meats.
