    I recently bought a small bag of melloco in Vilcabamba. I cannot find a recipe for it on the internet. I don’t know if it’s a small potato or large legume. A local friend told me to boil it in water, slice it into small circles, add tomatoes and eat it in a salad. Is this vegetable worth buying and if so do you have any recipes for the melloco? Thank you for your help.

      Hi Ann – I love mellocos! Unfortunately it’s very hard to find in the US (and even then can only find it canned). Treat it as you would fingerling potatoes (in terms of cooking – though it’s texture is different, has a slight sliminess to it). I love them in salads: boil them, slice them and toss with cebollas curtidas (pickled red onions), avocado slices, radishes, carrots, lime juice, olive oil and cilantro. They’re also great in soups, you can make locro style soup using mellocos.

        My mom’s recipe: Boil the mellocos like a potato, when done, cut them in circles. Chop green onions, add lime, salt, pepper and olive oil. Add the mellocos to the green onions, and done!!!! This salad goes amazingly well with steak. Enjoy!

    I have been pinning your recipes a lot. Thanks for so many delicious ones. We are moving to Ecuador (the coast) later this year, so I have been trying some recipes before I go. We have eaten in two Ecuadorian Restaurants here in CT. When I like something I ate at the restaurant, I google the recipe or look on your site for a recipe. Many times it is not exactly like the restaurant’s, but is delicious as well. I especially like the soups. I have a question, do Ecuadorians make any pasta-like recipes? Thanks, again for your great blog.

    Hi Joyce – There are many variations of “tallarines” or spaghetti type pastas in Ecuador, some of the best are ones mixed with seafood. Also, fideos (noodles or any other shapped pastas) are commonly used in soups.
