It's served with bits of deep-fried Bacalao that has been reconstituted in beer, and slices of fried banana. Kind of like a big, steamy yellow bowl of coronary malfunction. I love it.

lorax, is Ecuador a Portuguese speaking country? The guy who makes me the blood sausage also makes this many ways and is Portugese. (as opposed to Bacala which is popular in Jersey) I'm going to have to see if I can duplicate these recipes but doubt I can find an "achiote". I'll have to look it up.....
