A common meal in the Amazon with yuca, plantain, carrots, onion, rice and fish
A common meal in the Ecuadorian Andes includes choclo, or a specific type of corn with kernels that are much larger than what we are used to in the States!
We made Ecuador's national food, encebollado, or an onion soup with fish, yuca, onions and chifles (plantain chips) on top.... or popcorn, if you eat it Andean-style!
We made lots of cheese-stuffed corn tortillas in the Andes
Do you eat your fish like this in your home, too, or do you prepare it differently?
Yuca is a staple food in Ecuador; can you guess what part of the plant is eaten?
We ground up toasted cacao beans so that we could make chocolate sauce!
Lots of yummy fruit with our homemade chocolate sauce... can you pick out which is the cacao fruit?
