About the dish

Chipa so'o is a savory cake that is popular in Paraguay and Argentina. The dough is prepared with a combination of pork fat, corn flour, corn starch, milk, salt, and cheese. Once prepared, the dough is shaped into balls and filled with a mixture of eggs and ground or finely chopped meat. Before baking, chipa so'o is brushed with milk in order to develop a nice color on the exterior. This chipa variety is consumed as a hearty snack, but it can also make for a calorie-laden lunch.
