Uruguayan Guiso image

A guiso is a stew, and while living in Uruguay I wanted to learn a traditional Uruguayan meal and this is the recipe that was shared with me.

Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

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.

This guiso was a bit too spicy for my taste, but other than that, it was very good. The meat was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
