Charquican
A popular dish in Chile, Charquican is a hearty stew that’s often made with meat and seasonal vegetables. It also pairs well with a glass of wine. The recipe is easy to follow and requires few ingredients.
The stew is traditionally prepared with dried and salted llama meat (also known as ch’arki), but beef can be used too. It is a very popular Chilean recipe that’s commonly served in summer and winter.
In addition to meat, the stew can be enriched with chicken or turkey stock. You can even make a vegetarian version of the dish by substituting the meat with quchayuyu seaweed. This ingredient is abundant in Chile and is a great alternative to llama meat. The dish is also popular in neighboring countries such as Bolivia and Argentina.
Jerky-Egg Omelette
Jerky may seem like an odd ingredient for a breakfast classic like an omelet. But, this savory snack has just the right texture to compliment eggs and other egg dishes. It adds a hearty kick to the dish and turns it into a meat lover’s breakfast.
To make a delicious jerky-egg omelet, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour into a pan and top with sharp cheddar cheese, Side Project pork jerky, and green onions. Cook until the omelet is set and enjoy.
If you want to create a more complex omelet with a variety of flavors and textures, try blending a traditional flavored jerky with onions and provolone cheese for a Philly-style omelette. You could also try combining a spicy jerky with melted swiss to add an extra burst of flavor. Another option is to finely mince a bit of the beef jerky subscription and mix it into your butter to make a jerky-butter before cooking the omelet.
Jerky-Salad
The tangy salad combines green papaya with Thai basil, sweet beef jerky, and peanuts. It is a common side dish at Vietnamese potlucks and parties. The jerky adds a savory and crunchy texture to the salad. The salad is easy to make, and all of the ingredients can be prepared in advance.
You can purchase the jerky from Vietnamese markets that sell preserved food items. The jerky is usually sold in large barrels and looks similar to American taffy. The jerky can also be found in grocery stores that have Asian aisles.
Cook the jerky in the oven for about 3 hours or until dry. The cooking time will vary depending on your oven.
Toss the salad, and top with a piece of the jerky. Serve cold. Adding the jerky last will help to prevent the salad from becoming soggy. You can also garnish the salad with more sliced jerky and chopped basil if desired.
Jerky-Stuffed Peppers
A simple dinner that’s high in protein and fiber. This recipe takes under an hour to make, and the stuffing can be frozen in advance.
This is a quick microwave dish that’s perfect for a busy weeknight. It’s also high in fiber and protein, so it keeps you full for longer.
When selecting peppers, choose ones that are bright and shiny with a firm texture. Avoid any with soft or moldy skin, which indicates they’re unripe and have an unpleasant bitter taste.
Some recipes for stuffed peppers require boiling the peppers first, but that’s not necessary with this recipe. The water in the bottom of the baking dish and the foil wrap create steam that cooks the peppers perfectly. Enjoy! These stuffed peppers can be stored in the fridge for up to three days or in the freezer for up to three months. They can be reheated in the oven or microwaved for a few minutes until they’re warmed through.
