Description
Chilean Pebre is a fresh and vibrant salsa-like condiment popular in Chile. Made with diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and a hint of spice, it’s a perfect accompaniment to grilled meats, empanadas, or simply enjoyed with bread.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Pebre:
- 4 medium tomatoes, finely diced
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 to 2 jalapeños or green chilies, finely minced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Pebre: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, garlic, and jalapeños.
- Add Flavor: Drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar (or lemon juice). Season with salt and black pepper.
- Mix Well: Stir well to combine and let sit for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve: Enjoy fresh as a condiment with bread, empanadas, grilled meats, or seafood.
Notes
- Pebre can be made chunkier by roughly chopping the vegetables or smoother by pulsing everything in a food processor.
- Adjust spice level by adding more or fewer chilies according to your preference.
- Best served fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
