Porotos con Riendas (Chilean Beans with Reins)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

If you are in the mood for a hot broth with lots of flavor that will feed the entire family, this is your recipe!

There is nothing better than this dish on a cold day or when it is raining outside. You have to try it, but imagine a broth that is lightly spiced and with a distinctive taste of chorizo. It is delicious and filling and the leftovers keep perfectly on the fridge for a couple of days! Good option to prepare for the week.

This dish is a staple in the Chilean culture. If you like this dish, you may like this other Chilean beans and squash dish, too: Porotos Granados

Chileans love their beans and they have a squash that is similar to butternut which they incorporate in many of their recipes. This dish is no exception, but with the reins twist. Unexpected I know, but delicious. Trust me.

Don’t forget the basil on top. Makes it extra delicious! We also added kale the next day to extend the leftovers a bit.
