🛒 Ingredients

4 servings

500g diced pork
2 medium onions
3 cloves garlic
to taste salt and black pepper
200g Argentine red chorizo
200g morcilla
1 cup fresh or frozen corn
1 medium zapallo

👨‍🍳 Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until they're tender, without burning them. Then, add the pork and cook until it's browned.
Step 2: Add the chorizo and morcilla, and cook for a few minutes until they're well combined. Then, add the corn and zapallo, and cover with water or broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and cook for 40 minutes, or until the ingredients are tender and the locro has thickened.

💡 Chef's tip

The key to a perfect locro is to cook it over low heat for a good amount of time, so the flavors can meld together and the ingredients become tender. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

A young red wine from the Mendoza DO, with its notes of red fruits and spices, perfectly complements the richness of the locro, cutting through the fat of the morcilla and enhancing the smoky flavors of the chorizo.
