Corviche
Fried green-plantain croquettes filled with fish and served with peanut sauce.
About Corviche
Laylita describes corviche as a typical food of Manabi on the Ecuadorian coast. Her fish rendition combines grated green plantain with peanut paste and annatto oil around a filling of albacora, the tuna named in her recipe.
Onion, garlic, green pepper, cumin and cilantro flavour the fish and its broth. Some of the same refrito and broth enrich a peanut sauce, while the plantain dough encloses the fish filling.
The elongated croquettes are fried and served hot, split lengthwise for sauce. Pickled onion, cilantro mayonnaise, cabbage-and-carrot salad and avocado aji are offered as accompaniments.
