Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

3 links chorizo sausage
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds cubed beef chuck roast
1 onion, diced
1 leek, white part only, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups diced butternut squash
2 potatoes, diced, or more to taste
2 carrots, diced
3 cups water, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cube vegetable bouillon
1 tablespoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups ditalini pasta
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 cup cooked lentils
½ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Place chorizo in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, turning occasionally and pricking each link with a fork to release some of the fat, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove sausages and slice when cool enough to handle. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Add beef and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add reserved sausage slices, onion, leek, and garlic and saute until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in butternut squash, potatoes, and carrots. Add water and tomato sauce. If vegetables are not covered with liquid, add more water to cover.
Add bouillon cube, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until stew thickens up, about 1 hour. Add pasta, peas, lentils, and parsley. Cook until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. You may need to add more water at this point, since the pasta will absorb liquid and the stew may become too dry.

Tips:

Use the right rice: Use medium-grain white rice, like Basmati or Jasmine. These varieties hold their shape well and won't get mushy.
Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice removes excess starch, which helps prevent the rice from sticking together.
Use the right ratio of water to rice: A good rule of thumb is to use 1 cup of water for every 2 cups of rice.
Season the rice: Add salt to the water before cooking. You can also add other seasonings, like garlic or bay leaf.
Cook the rice over low heat: Bring the water and rice to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 18-20 minutes.
Let the rice rest: Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before fluffing it with a fork.

Conclusion:

Uruguayan rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with many different main courses. It's a great way to add flavor and texture to your meals. With these tips, you can make perfect Uruguayan rice every time.
