Charquicán is a flavorful Chilean stew that was originally made with dried and salted llama meat, pumpkin, onions, sweet corn, and potatoes as its main ingredients. Modern versions often employ ground beef instead of dried llama meat (due to its strong flavor) and top the dish with a fried egg. The name of the dish is derived from the Quechua and Mapuche word charqui, which means jerky.
