About Chipa So'o
Ana María Gómez Silgueira’s chipá so’o is a Paraguayan filled bread presented for San Juan celebrations. A cornmeal dough made with queso Paraguay, milk and eggs encloses the savoury filling.
Boiled meat is ground and combined with onion, garlic, scallion, cumin and black pepper. Chopped hard-boiled egg adds another texture inside the soft dough.
The filled pieces are shaped as individual balls, then brushed with beaten egg yolk and baked until golden. The rounded bread holds the meat and egg together as a substantial snack.
