What is Hornado?
Hornado is a traditional Ecuadorian meal consisting of a marinated, slowly roast pork. In Ecuador it is sold in some restaurants and stands on a seller where the whole pig is often roasted. Hornado can also be home, but it requires three days of preparation.
Although the whole pig can be used, instead of a large pork leg is often used. Hornado is usually made for large groups and legs generally weigh £ 10-20 (£ 4,5-9.0). Traditionally, chicha, an alcoholic beverage made of fermented corn, is used for marinating pork. Instead, however, beer is often used. Lard is also traditionally used, but butter is often replaced.
spices and other flavors, such as fresh lime juice, are also added to Hornado. Cumin, garlic, salt, pepper and Annatto are also generally included. Annatto is a type of seed that is often used for dyes, but also serves as earthy spices in many Latin American meals.
