The food of Ecuador is incredibly diverse as a result of the huge variety of produce grown around the country, from the coastal region to the Andean highlands. Here we’re making the most of a really important crop from the highlands, the humble potato. To start we’ve got baked empanadas with 2 different fillings - spiced sweet potato and a delicious cheese filling traditionally topped with salt and sugar and served with a refreshing tomato and onion salad and a fiery tomato hot sauce known as aji de tomate. To follow there’s a rustic, hearty potato stew from the Andes called locro de papa, flavoured and coloured with annatto oil and topped with avocado, cheese, coriander and more aji de tomate!

The empanadas are great fun, but the Locro de papa is the highlight, classic south american combination of potato, cheese and chilli. Absolute rib sticking stuff, perfect for awinter evening
