Quito, Ecuador: La seca Gallina & Photo

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Quito, Ecuador located in the mountains of Ecuador on the north west coast of South America, is a country with an extraordinaire " re-inventing " gastronomic movement ... The indigenious products hail from the its long coastline and islands, its majestic mountains and the eastern border of the Amazon. In addition there are vast forests, and plains with rich valleys. 

One of the most famous dishes of this region in addition to Peru, though the two are prepared quite distinctly is the La Seca Gallina, or the Dry Hen. However, there is nothing dry about this chicken dish. The dish that I am going to provide a recipe for resembles a croquette in looks and is a XXI city sophisticated re-invention of the indigenious and classic traditional. 

La Seca Gallina -  Ecuatorian  Chicken Croquette Tapas Served as a Pintxo ( pin cho ) on a wooden popsicle stick and on a bed of Ecuatorian mashed cream of indigenious potato.
