What Cazuela is

Clear stew of beef, potato, corn and pumpkin.

Cazuela is listed as a dish in the Chile guide, where the index tags it mild. The index uses those labels to make an unfamiliar menu legible. What it cannot tell you is how this particular kitchen seasons, fries or plates the dish, so leave room to ask.
