BACKED The "Baked" although it is popularly known as the hornado, which means baked pork, is a typical dish of Ecuador. It is a dish that contains hornado pork, mainly cooked in wood, accompanied by different sauces and other cooked vegetables, such as corn, potato tortillas, fried ripe, avocado, lettuce, tomato and other ingredients depending on the area geographical where it is prepared. The history of the hornado begins in the 16th century. It is a typical Ecuadorian dish, which was born of a European tradition. In America there were no pigs, but the Spaniards brought them. They were Castilians and blacks. In the seventeenth century, in the traditional wood-burning ovens, there were allullas, biscuits or bread. But you had to take advantage of the heat. Then, the cooks used it to prepare meats. One of them was the pig. The origin of the dish comes from a Valencian dish: the suckling pig, prepared in a wood oven. One of the sites with more history for this dish is Botín, in Madrid's Cuchilleros street, considered the oldest restaurant in the world. One of the peculiarities is the age of the pig with which it is baked. A piglet is about two years old. The animal to prepare hornado has the double. PREPARATION The original recipe of the piglet changed on arrival in America, to become this food. While the first is marinated with saffron, wine, pepper and cloves, the second is marinated with chicha, onion, garlic and cumin. A lot of cumin. But the ingredient that makes the difference is achiote. This is used only in Ecuador. There are four main roots of this dish in the mountains: Carchi, Pichincha, Chimborazo and Azuay. Hence, the recipe "was watered" for neighboring provinces such as Tungurahua, Bolívar, Cañar or Cotopaxi. He also arrived at the Costa. But in each place it has some particularity. o In Chimborazo it is accompanied with mote, lettuce and chiriucho, a Quichua word that means cold chili. Water, salt, onion, pieces of chili, some panela or chicha make up this sauce.1 It is usually accompanied with a fruit juice with ice from the Chimborazo volcano. The baking is usually prepared with a leg of pork of about 20 pounds, although, depending on the amount you want to prepare, you can use other meaty parts of this animal, such as the loin or shoulder. The preparation of this dish is quite long and involves a lot of attention so that the meat does not dry out.
