Best Porotos Granados Chilean Bean Stew Recipes

POROTOS GRANADOS (CRANBERRY BEANS STEW - CHILEAN RECIPE)

Steps:

• Thrash the beans (i.e. remove them from their husks), chop the corns, wash and chop the pumpkin into medium-sized cubes.
• In a large pot, cook with enough hot water to cover the beans and chopped pumpkin, add a little salt and about 4 basil leaves. Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile make a stir-fry sauce in a pan with oil, onion chopped in squares, garlic, chopped basil, and the remaining spices. It takes about 7 minutes, more or less.
• Meanwhile add the corn to the mixture of beans, and cook for about 5 more minutes.
• Then add the stir-fry sauce that was prepared, stir well and cook for about 3 more minutes.
• Let it stand and serve with basil on top or with "color", which is basically red pepper powder with some lard or melted butter.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan or casserole over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté gently for about 10 minutes, until softened. Add the paprika and 1 tablespoon of the oregano. Cook for another minute.
• If using dried beans, drain them after soaking and add to the pan with the stock and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the beans are completely tender (dried beans vary, and sometimes this may take over an hour). Add the squash, stir well, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the squash is just tender, then add the green beans and corn kernels and simmer for another 5 minutes.
• If using canned beans, add the drained, rinsed beans, the squash, bay leaf, and stock at the same time, and simmer until the squash is just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Then add the green beans and corn kernels and simmer for a further 5 minutes.
• To finish, season well-I use about 1 teaspoon of salt and plenty of pepper. Stir in the remaining oregano, leave to settle for a couple of minutes, then serve.

• Clean and peal the squash, leaving it in large pieces.
• Peel and dice the tomoates, onions, and garlic.
• In a large pot, heat the butter. Saute the onions. When starting to look clear, add the garlic and tomatoes. Cook approximately 5-10 minutes, until everything is heated through and the tomatoes have started developing a creamy texture.
• Season the tomates and onions with cumin, pepper, salt, and paprika.
• Add the beans and pumpkin. Add enough water to cover all the ingredients. Bring to a boil and then simmer until the beans are cooked about 1 hour.
• Take the squash peices out and mash or grind them. Then place back in the pot.
• Grind the corn in a blender or food processor with the basil. Add it to the pot and cook for another 10 minutes or so. The starch from the corn should thicken the stew slightly.
• (Optional) At the end add half a cup of milk product to make things creamy. The fattier the milk product the tastier the beans.
