Cevichocho
Also known as: Ceviche de chochos
Ecuadorian chocho-bean ceviche brightened with lime, orange, tomato, red onion and cilantro.
About Cevichocho
Cevichocho, also called ceviche de chochos, is an Ecuadorian Andean ceviche built around cooked chocho beans rather than seafood. This profile follows Laylita’s vegetarian version and fixes its fresh blended-and-strained tomato option instead of bottled tomato sauce.
Lime and orange give the dressing a vivid sweet-sour balance, while red onion, tomato and cilantro add savoury freshness. Chocho beans bring a mild, gently nutty legume flavour and olive oil rounds the citrus edge.
The pale, firm beans remain distinct among thin onion and tomato pieces in a light reddish citrus dressing. The mixture is juicy and crisp-tender rather than creamy, with chopped cilantro scattered through it.
