corn, 6
Criollo squash (not squash), (1.5 k)
onion, 1
Green onion, 3
Oil, 3 tablespoons
Coarse salt, a handful

For the hot sauce:

onion, 1/2
Ground chili, 2 tablespoons
Oil, 2 tablespoons
Sweet paprika, 2 tablespoons
Cumin, ½ teaspoon
Salt to taste

Huaschalocro recipe


On the Recetas de Argentina site, they revealed the preparation steps:

_ Defat the meat and remove the nerves.
– Put the meat in a pot, cover it abundantly with water and add the coarse salt.
– Bring the pot with the meat to a boil and cook over low heat for about 3 hours.
– Go removing with a slotted spoon, from time to time, the foam that forms on the surface.
– Remove and cut the meat to eat in one bite.
– Peel and finely chop the onion.
– Peel and cut the pumpkin into pieces.
– Peel, clean and shell the corn.
– In a separate pot, sauté the onion until transparent.
– Add the broth that was left of the meat, the cut meat and the pumpkin.
– Stir with a wooden spoon (the squash should finally become a puree, giving the huaschalocro consistency).
– After about 20 minutes add the corn.
– When the corn is tender, the huaschalocro is ready.
– Salt to taste.
– At all times take care that it does not dry out, adding broth or water if necessary.
– Wash and finely chop the green onion.

For the hot sauce: Chop the ½ onion, heat the oil in a pan. Then, sauté the onion, add the ground chili pepper, the paprika and the thyme, mix well and salt.

Serve the huaschalocro in individual casseroles, with a spoonful of hot sauce in the center and sprinkled with green onion.
