This painting captures the fiery flavor of Merkén which is a native spice from Chile. It originates from the Mapuches ( the original inhabitants of South America) of the Araucanía Region of Chile. which consists of a mixture of dried and toasted ají cacho de cabra, coriander, cumin and salt.
The color of Merkén is a beautiful fire red with hues of orange. Spice is invigorating! Even the smallest amount of spice can dramatically change an eating experience!
Merkén is subtle but delicious and this painting serves as a reminder of how a little spice represented in the pop of red can add a whole new dimension of excitement!
