Warm, hearty caldo gallego is one of my family’s favorite meals during the long winter months in Alaska. We like to serve it with chewy Cuban bread.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, minced
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Spanish chorizo links, sliced
- 2 thick slices smoked ham, diced, or more to taste
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 medium turnips, peeled and diced
- 8 cups chicken stock
- 1 (15 ounce) can white cannellini beans
- 3 cups chopped turnip greens
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and saut? until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in chorizo and ham; cook and stir until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes and turnips, then pour in stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes and turnips are tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 3
Increase the heat to medium and stir in beans and greens; cook until greens are tender, at least 3 minutes.
Tips
You can use smoked sausage (such as Polish kielbasa) instead of chorizo; kale, chard, or any dark leafy green (besides spinach) instead of turnip greens; and a ham hock instead of smoked ham.
