LOCRO CON PAPAS (ARGENTINA)

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the paprika, stirring to mix in the spice. Sauté the onions in this mixture until soft.
• Add the water and bring to a boil; add the potatoes. Simmer gently until the potatoes are almost cooked. Depending on the size of the potatoes, it may be necessary to add more water during cooking.
• Add the light cream and the fish and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to fall apart. If necessary, take the back of a large fork or wooden spoon and gently mash the potatoes.
• Add a little of the potato mixture to the beaten eggs and then add the eggs to the soup. Remove from the heat, stir in the cheese, correct the seasoning, and serve at once.
• If available, some roasted corn kernels can be sprinkled on top as a garnish.

Steps:

• Drain beans, then transfer to a medium pot. Add enough water to cover beans by one inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, drain hominy, then transfer to a large heavy pot. Add enough water to cover hominy by 2 inches., then simmer over medium low heat for 1 hour.
• Add chicken, spareribs, pancetta, peppers, chorizo, squash, and paprika, and add enough water to just cover meat and vegetables. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium low and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until corn blooms and stew is thick, about 4 hours more.
• Add beans just before stew is done. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
