A meal for my sister

in powerhousecreatives •  5 years ago 

Living in a country that is not yours is an experience like no other. But living away from the family that was always by your side is not easy, although we can adapt.

My sister lives 342 km from the place where I currently live, and after 5 long months without seeing her, she finally came to visit us.


Before his arrival, we were buying what was necessary to prepare something different: Food for me is very important.

She came to visit with another person who is like another sister. That makes me remember what is written in the Bible in the book of proverbs: "There are friends who are not friends, and there are friends who are more than brothers. "And definitely, this is a case of those.

Upon arrival, we begin to prepare a drink that here in Chile called "Michelada", which is a beer mixed with salt and lemon in a glass with the edge covered with lemon, salt and some add Merkel: A type of chili pepper Spicy powder.

We live in a small place, so when someone visits us and we start preparing food, everything is a mess.

The dish to prepare is called "Chorrillana". It consists of a base of fried potatoes on which minced meat is placed (in this case we use beef and pork) with sausages, all grilled with onions cut in julienne and some seasonings to season.

The steps to prepare this? I will detail it below so you can prepare it; I know they will like it and surely @zord189 will try to do it because it is really delicious.

The first thing is to cut the meat into small pieces and add some soy sauce, salt, and garlic. We prepare a seasoning that has garlic, salt, oregano, cumin, curry and black pepper that gives a spectacular flavor to everything we cook and is what we always use to season as good Venezuelans.

The sausages cut them when they are already cooked.

We begin by cutting the potatoes, passing them through wheat flour with salt and frying them. On the potatoes, we will place the rest of the ingredients.


Cut the onion and grilled until it begins to soften, then add the meats that have been previously seasoned


In addition to all this, carry a half-cooked egg on top

Remember the order of the factors, although this will not alter the product, lol. Potatoes, meats with sausages all cut, egg on top.

But why 5 dishes if we are supposed to be 4 people? Well, a cousin came to help me with a job and I invited him to stay home with all the risks that this entails. You will ask again: why 6 eggs if they are 5 dishes? For me, there are two eggs. Taking into account that it was almost midnight and we tried to eat something light and not eat too much, hahaha.

There is no way to be sad at the visit of the beings we love and having a meal in front of them. They will stay for 5 days, so, they will continue reading our adventures very likely.

Thanks for the support.

That looks really delicious, @oneray! I have been cooking late meals lately too. It's difficult to eat light if the food is really good!

Oh yeah!
In Chile, people sleep late; I don't know why.
If I sleep late, then I prefer to eat, lol

Thanks.
I appreciate it a lot

It all looks yummy! I've never heard of flour on french fried potatoes; what does that do or add to them? A different flavor? I've heard McDonald's adds sugar to their fries.

La harina de trigo hace que la papa frita quede más crujiente por fuera y suave por dentro. Le da un toque diferente. Deberías intentarlo :)

Agradezco mucho tu comentario.

Wheat flour makes the fried potato more crispy on the outside and soft inside. It gives a different touch. You should try it :)

I very much appreciate your comment.

Thanks! I think I will try it! I make homemade fries pretty often, and next time... :)

Howdy sir oneray! What a wonderful meal and a wonderful time, God bless you all!

Sir @janton. It's a pleasure to read your comment.
It was an incredible moment.

Hoy tocó de almuerzo pasta a la bolognesa con plátano maduro asado. Esto no se ve por aquí a menos que sea verano (el plátano maduro)

Gracias mi hermano. El placer que se siente es el mismo que usualmente sentíamos en Venezuela, cuando podíamos hacerlo cada vez que quisieramos. Fue grato repetirlo aquí en Chile

Thanks, @dswigle.
It's nice to be with the family

You prepared a great feast to welcome your sister. Have a wonderful time!

I am the same @oneray with no one of my blood living near. It is always a great occasion to see my sister or brothers.

It's not easy. But, I'm very happy when they come to my house.
We always preparate a big food for all.

Hola @wendyth16. Es una receta chilena que aprendimos aquí. trabajo en un centro de eventos, lo cualme permite estar dentro de la cocina mirando todo lo que se hce, y por supuesto, aprender cómo elaborar platos diferentes a los que comemos en Venezuela.
Gracias por comentar y nos estamos leyendo.

Celebrating family reunions is a must when you live away from them!

Por supuesto, no es sencillo tener la familia tan lejos. Gracias a Dios, nos podemos ver y abrazarnos
