Ecuadorian

Ecuadorian Morocho is a traditional corn and milk pudding with a spicy twist that ignites the taste buds. This beloved dish has a rich history dating back to pre-Columbian times when it was enjoyed by indigenous communities. Today, it's a staple in Ecuadorian cuisine, especially in the Andean region. Chefs in Quito and Cuenca have perfected the art of infusing Morocho with a fiery kick, using local spices like aji peppers. For the best Morocho experience, head to the bustling markets of Otavalo or Ambato, where street vendors serve up steaming bowls of this spicy delight. Don't miss out on this unique fusion of flavors!
