Gather @butternut squash{500%g}, @white bean{200%g} and @sweet paprika{2%tbsp}.

Drain and rinse the soaked @hominy{400%g} and beans.

Cover with plenty of fresh water in a large pot; bring to a boil and simmer until softening, about 60 minutes. ~{1%hours}

Add the @pork shoulder{400%g}, @smoked sausage{200%g}, and diced @onion{2}; simmer gently, skimming off any foam, until the meat turns tender, about 45 minutes. ~{45%minutes}

Stir in the squash; keep simmering, stirring occasionally, as it breaks down and thickens the pot, about 45 minutes more. ~{45%minutes}

Taste and adjust the salt; the stew is ready when a spoon can stand upright in it for a moment.

Make the quiquirimichi: bloom the paprika and sliced @spring onion{3} in a spoonful of hot fat skimmed from the pot.

Ladle into deep bowls and spoon the quiquirimichi over each.
