(Meat, Vegetable, and Fruit Stew)
Serves 6
Buenos Aires-Sheraton Hotel Buenos Aires, Argentina

All the colors of a Latin market are present in this unusual peasant stew. It is not too sweet and not too spicy, allowing the separate flavors of the fruits and vegetables to be appreciated alone and yet together. Though the list of ingredients seems to go on and on, a closer look will reveal that the dishe is easily assembled and prepared

3 cups boiling water
11/4 pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons lard or uegetable shortening
1 cup chopped onion
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large cloue garlic, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 to l/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 cups Beef Stock (recipe, page 278)
1/2 pound zucchini, diced into 1/2-inch pieces; or 1/2 pound summer squash, diced into l/2-inch pieces
1 cup whole kernel com
2 tablespoons dark raisins
1 small firm but ripe peach, peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces
1 small firm but ripe pear, diced into 1-inch pieces
6 cups boiled white rice

Boil water in a large saucepan. Take pan off the heat. Add the ground beef, stirring to break the meat into little pieces. Let sit 5 minutes, stirring once or twice, until most of the pink disappears from the meat. Drain meat well, discarding the water.

Melt the lard (or shortening) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and fry 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until onions are limp and slightly brown. Mix in the blanched beef. Continue to fry, stirring constantly, until all liquid has evaporated from the pan and the meat is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Scrape the pan frequently as you stir.

Lower the heat slightly; add the diced bell peppers, sweet potato, and garlic. Scraping and stirring continue cooking the mixture 5 or 6 minutes longer, until peppers and potatoes are somewhat tender. Add the parsley, paprika, sugar, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir and fry 1 minute longer to enliven the flavors.

Pour hot beef stock into the pan. Add the zucchini (or summer squash ), whole kernel corn, and raisins. Simmer carbonade gently do not boil for 10 minutes. Add the diced peach and pear. Simmer 5 to 10 minutes longer or until all vegetables and fruits are just tender. Correct the seasoning to taste.

Put 1 cup hot boiled rice into each of 6 dinner bowls. Ladle the carbonade over the rice. Serve hot.
