Chilean Cazuela, like many comfort food dishes from around the world, can be as varied as you care to make it. To retain the iconic flavors that make this dish a nostalgic whiff of home for Chilean expats and simply a delicious harvest stew for us all, we do recommend beef (grass-fed, local is best). And don’t leave out the potato, pumpkin or corn-on-the-cob! Recipe courtesy of Que Rica Vida Wine club members will enjoy this recipe with many types of Chilean red wines.
