THE DISHES:
Charquicán is the dry meat popular during the age of the Inca, used in different dishes around the Andean region. Charquican in Chile is a popular stew. Chilean Charquicán is made with charqui, or beef, potatoes, pumpkin, white corn, onions, and sometimes peas and corn. It was originally made from dried and salted llama meat or beef. The modern Chilean version of Charquicán is made with minced beef and topped with a fried egg 🍲🍳🇨🇱
The word "charquicán," from charquikanka, is thought to be a Quechua word meaning "stew with ch'arki". An alternative theory posits that it is a hybrid word of the Quechua ch'arki and the Mapudungun cancan (dried roasted meat). This dish was commonly eaten by merchants travelling between the port of Arica and the mines of Potosí and by peasants travelling with herds of livestock. Later, in the times of the Chilean War of Independence, the Charquicán cuyano was a frequently eaten by the soldiers of the Army of the Andes.
