Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons canola or olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
A handful of oregano or marjoram, chopped
3 1/2 ounces/100g small dried beans, such as pinto, navy, or cannellini beans, soaked overnight in cold water, or 1 (14-ounce/400g) can beans, drained and well rinsed
1 quart/liter vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 pounds/750g squash, such as butternut or red kuri, peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch/2cm chunks
7 ounces/200g green beans, trimmed and cut into 3/4-inch/2cm pieces
Kernels cut from 2 cobs of corn
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

POROTOS GRANADOS (BEAN STEW)

Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. It's from a special edition of Saveur, The Best of Tex-Mex Cooking. They recommend you use 2 cups dried navy beans soaked overnight, but I've altered the recipe and cooking time for canned. I also halved the amount of oil. When I tried this it made a rather soupy stew; if you prefer your stews drier, I suggest cutting back on the broth, and add more if it gets too dry.

POROTOS GRANADOS



Porotos Granados image

"Porotos" is Chile's word for "beans". This is a native Chilean dish. My mother-in-law gave me her version, but I like Ruth Van Waerbeek- Gonzalez' (The Chilean Kitchen) version as well, so this is my own, which is an adaptation of the two. Serve Chilean style with fresh bread and a salad of sliced tomatoes and onion drizzled with olive oil. This is a typical autumn and winter dish at our house.(prep time does not include soaking time for beans.)
