10 meals that you must to have in Ecuador

LLAPINGACHOS	LOCRO DE PAPA	SECO DE CHIVO	MOTE PILLOS	UCHUMANGA
You’ll undoubtedly fall in love with this popular food in Ecuador, adored by both Ecuadorians and travelers. Llapingachos consists of a potato patty stuffed with cheese and cooked to perfection on a griddle, achieving a golden-brown crust. While many consider Llapingachos as a side dish for a pork meal, including chorizo, fried egg, avocado slices, and a salad, you can enjoy one on its own also. These are particularly good choices for the vegetarians in your group. Find them anywhere in the country and in particular at the Banos Market.	Ecuador is known for its traditional stew dishes, and one to try from the highland region is Locro de Papa. This gastronomical potato stew often contains cheese, onions, garlic, and cumin in addition to the potatoes. The key, however, is the annatto, a spice found in South America that adds its own unique flavor. Expect a delicious creamy consistency with a side of avocado and toasted corn.	For a traditional stewed dish, try Seco de Chivo with its main ingredient of goat meat. You can also select beef or chicken versions. Whichever meat you choose, the stew consists of it along with tomatoes, onions, naranjilla (tasting similar to a lemon and pineapple combined), cane sugar, cilantro, oregano, cumin, garlic, and beer. You can find this dish in all regions of Ecuador, and it is usually served with rice, avocado, side salad, and fried plantains.	A traditional Ecuadorian food dish enjoyed in the highlands, including Cuenca, is Moto Pillo. This simple dish consists of mote, which is cooked mature corn, and added to scrambled eggs to create a delicious meal to enjoy wherever you are. This is sure to become a staple as you explore the region and enjoy the fun and scenery it offers.	While exploring the Amazon region of Ecuador, try the traditional stew of Uchumanga. This versatile stew consists of whatever river fish is caught that day by local fishermen. With the goal of wasting nothing, the fish’s intestines are included during the stewing process.

BOLON DE VERDE	ENCEBOLLADO	CEVICHE	CEVICHE DE PESCADO	CUY ASADO
Considered a national dish of the country, the Ecuadorian cuisine of Bolon de Verde resembles a baseball-sized ball of dough on the outside. The outer layers are made of mashed green plantains, while the inside contains pork (or other meat) or cheese. Once formed, the ball is pan-fried to a golden hue and served up hot. Try this dish for breakfast or even brunch. Quite filling, one of these can sustain you for a full day of sightseeing or travel anywhere in the country.	This traditional dish of fish in a unique coconut sauce is not to be missed. The most common fish used in the recipe is Covina, a highly prized, wild-caught fish sought in all of South America. The coastal provinces, in particular, take great pride in this dish, serving it simply with white rice and fried plantains	While ceviche is not unique to Ecuador, the way it is prepared here makes it an undeniable favorite among residents and visitors alike and an Ecuador famous food. It’s the citrus marinating juices that define its unique style. Consisting of raw shrimp or other seafood from the abundant Ecuadorian coastal waters, the citrus juice allows it to maintain the most amount of flavor. Expect to find the best ceviche in restaurants located in the seaport of Guayaquil. Ceviche carts in other areas, like Montanita, are also available.	From the Ecuadorian coast to the Andes, the popular dish of Encebollado de Pescado is another must-try. This seafood soup starts with a fish-based broth, usually albacore tuna, and adds in boiled yuca, pickled red onion, tomato, a squeeze of lime juice, and cilantro. Also called chuchaqui, the soup is served with strips of fried green plantains, toasted corn (tostado), or various breads—a perfect meal by itself or paired with a side salad.	Prepare yourself to move past your initial impressions, as Cuy Asado, or roasted Ecuador guinea pig food treat, is a highly acclaimed delicacy in Ecuador. You can enjoy a whole cuy or start out with a single or quarter sampling. It is commonly accompanied by a side of corn or potatoes and served with chile and salsa, examples of typical Ecuadorian food. One of the best locations for ordering cuy Ecuadorian food is the city of Cuenca nestled among the Andes mountains in southern Ecuador. Here you’ll find high-end restaurants to roadside food stalls near the market serving up this dish. Another popular place for cuy is Banos, so be sure to try it while enjoying the adventurous activities in this area.

Example of History and Presentation Document

Topic: Preparing my own Traditional Ecuadorian Food

Bolon de Verde

Ingredients 4 green plantains peeled and cut in medium sized chunks 4-5 tbs butter or lard 2 tbs oil canola or sunflower 1 tbs hot pepper or chili powder 1 tsp cumin 1 cup grated cheese and/or 1 cup cooked chorizo or chicharrones (fried pork belly) or bacon Salt to taste Ground peanuts optional – add when mashing the green plantains

Instructions Melt the butter or lard over medium heat in large sauté pan Add the plantain chunks and cook for about 40 minutes or until they are very soft, turn them about every 10 minutes, they should be slightly golden but not too crispy. Sprinkle the cooked plantains with the chili powder, cumin and salt. Transfer the plantain pieces to a bowl, do this while they are still hot (but be careful not to burn yourself). Mash the plantains using a wood masher – or just a regular potato masher – until you obtain chunky dough-like consistency. Form balls slightly smaller than the size of a tennis ball with the dough. Make a hole in the middle of each ball and fill it with the cheese or chorizo or chicharrones (mixed with ground peanuts), gently press the filling into the hole, cover the filling and reshape it back into a ball shape. Heat the oil over high heat, add the stuffed plantain dumplings and fry them until they are golden and crispy on each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the grease and serve immediately.
