Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

3 links chorizo sausage
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds cubed beef chuck roast
1 onion, diced
1 leek, white part only, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups diced butternut squash
2 potatoes, diced, or more to taste
2 carrots, diced
3 cups water, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cube vegetable bouillon
1 tablespoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups ditalini pasta
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 cup cooked lentils
½ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Place chorizo in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, turning occasionally and pricking each link with a fork to release some of the fat, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove sausages and slice when cool enough to handle. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Add beef and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add reserved sausage slices, onion, leek, and garlic and saute until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in butternut squash, potatoes, and carrots. Add water and tomato sauce. If vegetables are not covered with liquid, add more water to cover.
Add bouillon cube, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until stew thickens up, about 1 hour. Add pasta, peas, lentils, and parsley. Cook until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. You may need to add more water at this point, since the pasta will absorb liquid and the stew may become too dry.

Tips:

Use the right type of rice. For Uruguayan rice dishes, use a short-grain rice like Bomba or Valencia. These rices are able to absorb a lot of liquid and cook up fluffy and tender.
Rinse the rice before cooking. This helps to remove any starch and impurities from the rice, resulting in a cleaner, fluffier dish.
Use a heavy-bottomed pot or pan. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from scorching.
Toast the rice before cooking. This step is optional, but it adds a nutty flavor to the rice and helps to prevent it from sticking together.
Cook the rice in a flavorful liquid. Use a broth, stock, or even water infused with herbs and spices. This will add flavor to the rice as it cooks.
Let the rice rest before serving. After cooking, let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the rice to absorb any remaining liquid and fluff up.

Conclusion:

Uruguayan rice dishes are a delicious and versatile addition to any meal. With its wide variety of flavors and textures, there's sure to be a Uruguayan rice dish that everyone will enjoy.
