Locro — semur jagung & kacang khas Argentina
The hearty, slow-simmered national stew of Argentina (and the Andes): white hominy corn and beans cooked for hours with squash, several cuts of pork and beef, chorizo and tripe until thick, creamy and deeply savoury. Locro is the dish of cold days and national holidays — above all May 25th and July 9th — ladled into bowls and crowned with a spicy quiajillo-and-paprika oil (salsa de grasa colorada). It's communal, warming, frugal cooking that turns humble ingredients into a feast.
