A Guide to Chilean Sides & Breads

Chile eats more bread per person than almost any country, and two loaves do most of the work: marraqueta, the crusty roll, and hallulla, the flat soft one. Pebre is the chopped tomato, onion and cilantro sauce that goes on both. From the pot come porotos granados, the summer bean stew with corn and squash, and charquicán, the mashed potato-and-pumpkin dish with beef that sits between a side and a main.
