Boil until the beef is tender, with the potatoes, then add the corn and cook until done.

Onions

Slice thin three large onions—boil for half an hour, drain and cool. Then pour olive oil over them.

Banana Paste

One quart of milk in a double boiler; add two heaping tablespoonsful of banana flour mixed in a little milk to a smooth paste, and cook from half hour to an hour.

How to Serve

Strain the soup through a colander and serve in a tureen, placing meat, potatoes, corn, onions and banana paste in separate, individual dishes from which each person may help themselves.

(In South America the yucca and plantains are used in this dish.)

YAPINGACHO

Make potato cakes by the ordinary recipe, but before shaping them place a piece of cream cheese the size of a walnut in the center of each; then fry brown in very little fat.
