Pebre〔Word taken from catalán (1555) "pebre", thus from Latin ''piper, -eris'' - Coromines, Breve diccionario etimológico de la lengua Castellana ISBN 978-84-249-1332-8〕 is a Chilean condiment made of coriander, chopped onion, olive oil, garlic and ground or pureed spicy aji peppers. It may contain also chopped tomatoes. Pebre is most commonly used on bread. It is also used on meat, or when meat such as choripán is provided in a bread roll. In Brazil, a similar sauce can be found by the name of Vinagrete (which is less hot than Pebre due to the lack of peppers in it). This sauce is one of the most popular sauces in Brazilian churrascadas. In Mexico they also use a similar sauce called pico de gallo, they add this to tacos of cochinita pibil or any other preparation, this sauce is also made with onion, coriander and tomato. In the Dominican Republic it is called wasakaka and usually has lime or sour orange juice. The word ''pebre'' in Catalan means pepper of any type, in this case ají cultivars of chilli pepper. The origin of Pebre as a sauce in Chile dates to the arrival of Catalan engineers and highly skilled masons under the supervision of the Italian architect Joaquin Toesca, for the construction of the Tajamares de Santiago, the fluvial channels, river walls and bridges for the main river that intersects the city of Santiago, the Rio Mapocho (Mapocho River). Catalan workers made a simple sauce (salsa) with cilantro, oil, vinegar and salt, called Pebre for its main ingredient the ají. Probably due to the lack of ingredients like pine nuts and roasted almonds this could be a variation of the Romesco sauce, a Catalan bell pepper sauce. In far northern Chile, the term pebre refers to a sauce more like Bolivian llajwa. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「pebre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
