Ecuador
Quinoa and Corn Chowder by Jose Garces,owner of more than a dozen restaurants in the States and author of the outstanding cookbook "The Latin Road Home", is Ecuadorian by origin, but grew up in Chicago. In winter, the best salvation from the cold and damp there was locro - a potato soup with cream, which his mother cooked for Jose so that her son could regain his strength after wrestling and football. "To this day, the taste of locro takes me back to those days," Jose smiles. Now he has children of his own, and for them he has come up with a healthier version of this soup - with quinoa and corn. Crispy potato straws make the soup more interesting in texture, and the hot sauce adds piquancy. For 4 servings:
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil for deep-frying
- 1 small potato variety Rasset
