Maito

For one supper meal at preps, Lourdes prepared maito, a dish that is typical in the Amazon region of Ecuador.  Essentially, it is tilapia wrapped in banana leaves.  

Norman was in charge of procuring the tilapia from the little pond next to the kitchen.  Henry was on hand to help.

Sra. Ligia and her daughter, Alejandra, descaled the fish.

All ready for further preparation

Tío Jim does his part preparing fresh ají (hot sauce) for the table.
