Completo[edit | edit source]
The completo is a popular Chilean fast food dish that consists of a hot dog served in a long, soft bread roll, topped with a variety of ingredients. It is considered a staple of Chilean cuisine and is widely enjoyed throughout the country.
History[edit | edit source]
The completo has its origins in the German immigrants who settled in Chile during the 19th century. They brought with them their love for sausages and bread, which eventually led to the creation of the completo. Over time, the dish evolved to incorporate local flavors and ingredients, becoming a unique Chilean culinary delight.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
A typical completo consists of a grilled or boiled sausage, usually made from pork or beef, placed inside a fresh, soft bread roll. The sausage is often topped with a generous amount of mayonnaise, sauerkraut, chopped tomatoes, and mashed avocado. Other common toppings include chopped onions, mustard, ketchup, and a sprinkle of paprika for added flavor.
Variations[edit | edit source]
While the traditional completo remains a favorite among Chileans, there are also numerous variations of the dish that cater to different tastes and preferences. Some popular variations include:
- Italiano: This variation includes the addition of sliced tomatoes and mashed avocado, giving it a fresh and vibrant flavor.
- A lo pobre: In this version, the completo is topped with a fried egg and caramelized onions, adding a rich and savory twist to the dish.
- Completo gourmet: This upscale version of the completo features high-quality ingredients such as artisanal sausages, gourmet sauces, and specialty bread rolls.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
The completo holds a special place in Chilean culture and is often associated with social gatherings and celebrations. It is commonly enjoyed at sporting events, parties, and family barbecues. In fact, it is not uncommon to find completo stands or food trucks in various locations throughout Chile, serving this beloved dish to locals and tourists alike.
