- 200 g of soaked beans
- 300 g of squash in cubes
- 300 g of pork belly
- 200 g of red chorizo
- 300 g of pork in cubes
- 1 onion
- 2 green onions
- 1 tablespoon of sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon of cumin

Step-by-step
Choose your robot:
- Chop the onion 4 sec/speed 5 and saute with a drizzle of oil 6 min/Varoma/spoon speed.
- Add the pork belly and the diced pork. Sear 8 min/Varoma/reverse/spoon speed.
- Add the drained corn and beans, the cumin, salt and pepper. Cover with the broth.
- Cook 60 min/100 degC/reverse/spoon speed, watching the liquid.
- Add the diced squash and the sliced red chorizo. Cook 30 min/100 degC/reverse/spoon speed.
- The squash breaks down and thickens the locro naturally.
- Adjust the salt and let it rest 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with a paprika topping: fry green onion with paprika and oil and pour over the top.
