      National Holidays 2025

      In Chile, every September 18, the national holidays are celebrated and it is a date where a lot of food is prepared

      The traditional food is asado and empanadas
      I did not make empanadas, but I used the opportunity to smoke meat, a long cooking, a process which took more than 6 hours

      The day started at the bakery at 5am with baguettes at 75% hydration, followed by chocoso breads, a variant of the French baguette with less hydration and rounded ends that is mainly used for choripanes

      The shift ended and I was able to grill
      I prepared a lemon pepper with salt from the cahuil salt flat from the sixth region of Chile, which served as the base for a rub for pork and chicken

      The rub is composed of lemon pepper, garlic powder, aji color and a seasoning that I make by dehydrating onion peels

      The ribs were seasoned, to be cooked for 6 hours
      3 hours over indirect heat, 2 hours wrapped in alusa foil with apple juice and one hour uncovered

      The chicken wings were left to marinate the night before in milk with the rub mentioned above

      And of course a choripan could not be missing

        ¡Leo! ¡Felices Fiestas Patrias! 🇨🇱 Qué bonita tradición la de reunirse en torno al asado y al pan hecho en casa. Aquí en Argentina también celebramos con empanadas y choripán, y es lindo cómo la comida local nos hermana y nos conecta más allá de las fronteras .Además, se nota el enorme trabajo y dedicación en cada preparación, desde el pan hasta el ahumado 👏.

        ¿Cuál es la principal técnica de cocción lenta que más disfrutas perfeccionar cuando trabajas con cortes grandes como el costillar?

        Love

        • @soldamiani sin duda alguna una de las mejores experiencias es el asado y lo que conlleva

          La técnica que más disfruto diría que ahumar, se puede lograr de otras formas ya sea en hornos o con cocción sousvide

          Pero el cocinar con leña es arte que pasas toda tu vida perfeccionando

        Sounds like you gave the Fiestas Patrias the tribute they deserve. From the first bread at dawn to the last bite of smoky meat.
