Ingredients
- 2 lb Beef shank
- 1/2 lb Chorizo
- 4 Corn
- 4 Potatoes
- 2 Sweet potatoes
- 4 Carrots
- 1/2 head Cabbage
- 1 cup Chickpeas
Steps
- Simmer the beef shank and chickpeas 60 minutes, skimming patiently — a clear broth is a proud broth.
- Add the chorizo, corn, carrots, and potatoes; simmer 30 minutes more.
- Tuck in the sweet potatoes and cabbage wedges for the final 20 minutes so nothing turns to mush.
- Lift everything out, slice the meats, and serve the broth first as a soup, then the mountain of meats and vegetables with chimichurri.
- Puchero is two courses from one pot — the Argentine grandmother's magic trick.
