📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Porotos granados is Chile's classic summer stew: freshly harvested white beans cooked with squash, corn, onion, and basil. The squash breaks down to thicken it and grated corn adds sweetness. It's a taste of the Chilean countryside, handed down from Indigenous cooking.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a farming village in central Chile in summer, freshly picked beans and corn simmer in a pot and are carried to a wooden table in a big dish.
