Time 5h25m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb dried white bean, soaked overnight
1 lb dried giant hominy, soaked overnight (treated white corn)
1 (3 lb) chicken, skinned, boned, and cut into chunks
1 1/2 lbs lean spareribs
1 lb pancetta, cubed
2 small red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and diced
1 lb spanish style chorizo sausage, cut into 1 in. pieces
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
salt & freshly ground black pepper

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.

  • 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.
