Pastel de choclo (Corn Pie) is a pastel food based on sweetcorn or choclo the quechua word for “tender corn” or the new corn of the season. It is a typical Chilean and Argentine dish but is also eaten in Peru with some variations in the recipe sometimes using corn meal instead of fresh mashed sweetcorn. It is also similar to pastel de elote found in Mexican cuisine and to the English corn pudding.
