👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Prepare the broth base: In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the beef (and pork, if using), halved onion, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Cover with cold water by at least 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer gently. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during the first 30 minutes. Cook for 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
⏱️ 1 hour 30 minutes - 2
Add the soaked chickpeas (if using dried) and the harder root vegetables: potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash. Ensure they are submerged in the broth. Continue to simmer, partially covered, for another 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are beginning to soften.
⏱️ 45 minutes - 3
Add the corn on the cob pieces. Gently place the chorizo and morcilla sausages into the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged. Continue to simmer for a final 30 minutes, or until the corn is tender and the sausages are cooked through. The morcilla should be firm but not burst. Taste the broth and season generously with salt.
⏱️ 30 minutes - 4
To serve: Carefully ladle the hot broth into individual bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley. The second course consists of the cooked meats and vegetables, arranged attractively on a large platter. Serve with a side of chimichurri or salsa criolla if desired.
