Adapted Ecuadorian Hot Chocolate
Adapted Ecuadorian Hot Chocolate

While studying in Ecuador, my host mom taught me to make hot chocolate their way. It's a very rich, filling dessert perfect for cold nights! I used the ingredients on hand; you can certainly substitute cocoa powder for the bittersweet or vice versa. Traditionally enjoyed with bread. Cinnamon is not traditional, but I like it. Let me know if you find any improvements!

Achiote Marinated Pork Tenderloin
Achiote Marinated Pork Tenderloin

From Jewels and Jill Elmore. This makes a lot of marinade. If you don't want to make as much pork, split the marinade in half and use on chicken for tostadas, tacos, or salad. Achiote paste can be found in the latin food aisle at the grocery.

Ajiaco Bogotano (Chicken and Potato Soup, Bogota Style)
Ajiaco Bogotano (Chicken and Potato Soup, Bogota Style)

Ajiaco is a typical dish in Colombia. It has a lot of potatoes since Bogota is in the mountains and potatoes are plentiful. This recipe calls for yucca which can be found in the produce section or frozen (Goya). If you cannot find it, just use Yukon gold potatoes, both will all but disintegrate and thicken the broth. Corn on the cob is cut into 1 inch rounds and thrown into the soup. They are easier to cut if you rotate the corn, eventually the cob will break. Once you remove the cover, you'll get a burst of sweet corn aroma. An avocado half is served either on the side, so you can take a spoonful of avocado and dip it in the soup.
