Soak the corn and beans: Rinse the dried white corn and white beans separately under cold running water. Place them in separate large bowls and cover generously with cold water. Let them soak overnight (at least 8-12 hours). Drain and rinse before cooking.
⏱️ Overnight (8-12 hours) - 2
Begin cooking the corn: Place the drained and rinsed corn in a very large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Cover with plenty of fresh water (about 3 inches above the corn). Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer gently for about 2 hours, or until the corn starts to soften but still holds its shape. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
⏱️ 2 hours - 3
Add beans and meats: Add the drained and rinsed white beans to the pot with the corn. Add the assorted meats and sausages, ensuring they are submerged. Add more water or broth if necessary to keep everything well covered. Bring back to a gentle simmer, cover partially, and cook for another 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
⏱️ 2 hours - 4
Add squash and finish cooking: Add the cubed squash to the pot. Continue to simmer, partially covered, for another 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the squash is very tender and starting to break down, thickening the stew. The meats should be fall-off-the-bone tender, and the beans and corn should be soft and creamy. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust liquid if needed; the locro should be thick but not dry.
⏱️ 1 - 1.5 hours - 5
Serve: Ladle the hot locro into deep bowls. Serve immediately, accompanied by the quiquirimichi sauce on the side for individuals to add according to their preference.
