Ingredients
1000 gr de-bittered chulquín
2 cup(s) hogao
500 gr red potatoes, sliced
500 gr brown potatoes, sliced
250 gr toasted and ground peanuts
1 cup(s) milk
125 gr lard
1/2 cup(s) sprigs of oregano, thyme, and rosemary, finely chopped
4 piece(s) chorizos antioqueños
500 gr farmer's cheese
4 piece(s) hard-boiled eggs
pinch achiote annatto to taste
pinch pepper, cumin, and salt to taste
Directions
  1. Put the chulquín in cold water, 24 hours before preparation, trying to change the liquid at least 2 times.
  2. Cook the de-bittered chulquín in salted water; when it has boiled, turn off the heat and let the cooking rest for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Then drain and wash in running water; grind without it being too fine or too coarse, and wash again with the help of a strainer or sieve.
  4. Reserve.
  5. Separately, heat the hogao, add ½ liter of water, and then add the brown and red potatoes.
  6. During cooking stir constantly, until the potatoes fall apart.
  7. At that moment, put the chulquín in the hogao, with the potatoes already dissolved.
  8. Finally, dissolve the peanuts in the milk, until it's like a porridge
