It comes out of the altiplano, where freeze-dried potato, hulled corn and cracked wheat kept households through the cold months, and it is still what people in La Paz eat when the weather turns. The broth ends up thick and earthy, somewhere between a soup and a stew, with the chuño giving it a flavor nothing else quite replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAssembling the grains for chairo means tracking down chuño, maíz pelado, trigo mote and dried broad beans separately, which is the part that keeps most people from making it outside Bolivia. Industrias Pereira, producing since 1967, puts all of it in one 200g sachet along with the dried carrot, celery, beet, onion, bean and pepper the recipe calls for. No artificial colors and no preservatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to prepare it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoak the dried grains for 12 hours before you cook. Bring 2 liters of water to a boil, add the grains and the seasoning powder, then simmer over low heat until the grains are tender and the soup has thickened to your liking. Add your beef at the end and serve. Pereira suggests adding chunks of beef before boiling if you want the meat to carry more of the broth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServe it the traditional way:\u003c\/strong\u003e with plenty of chopped parsley or quilquiña on top and llajua alongside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNet weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200g. \u003cstrong\u003eYield:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 servings. \u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bolivia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContains: Wheat.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Industrias Pereira","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45152531415248,"sku":"PER-CHAIRO-200","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/5023\/4320\/files\/Chairitofront.png?v=1788653537","url":"https:\/\/thebolivianshop.com\/products\/chairito-industrias-pereira-bolivian-chairo-soup-mix-200g","provider":"The Bolivian Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
