Directions
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., used frozen sweet potatoes instead of winter squash and added garlic powder. I cooked the paprika before adding the onions., This is a classic Chilean summer dish. It’s traditionally made with fresh tortola beans not found in the US but lima, pinto or canolli beans could be good substitutes. The Chilean squash is also different, with a deep orange, almost red color and very sweet and flavorful. One thing that’s missing from the original recipe is French-cut green beans. They add a lot of flavor and complement the corn very well. Another addition that my family also uses a lot I’m Chilean is basil. Other variations include additional large quartered onions cooked in whole chunks along with the beans, providing a good texture and additional onion flavor.
