Chuno Phuti – Chuno and cheese side dish

Serves 6

1/2 pound dried chuno
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup oil
1 white onion, finely chopped
1 tomato, peeled and chopped
2 cups queso fresco, shredded or crumbled
3 eggs


Put chuno in a large bowl and cover with lukewarm water. Let it soak overnight.
Drain the water from the bowl and wash the chuno twice, removing any rind. Cut the chuno in pieces and rinse several times, squeezing the pieces until the water is clear.

Place chuno in a large pot and cover with double the water. Add salt and cover pan until boiling. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes or until the chunos are fork tender. Drain and reserve chuno.

In another pot, heat the oil, add the onion and cook until transparent. Add the tomato and mix all well. Let the tomato cook for 3 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and then add them to the onion and tomato mixture. Mix well.

Add chuno to the pot. Right before serving, add the cheese and mix everything together, stirring carefully over low heat. Serve immediately
