Este fin de semana pienso preparar las humitas, mis hijos nacieron aqui en USA y mi esposo es Colombiano. En la ciudad donde vivo en el estado de Connecticut es muy facil conseguir comida y productos Colombianos pero no Ecuatorianos (al menos no cerca de casa) asi que mi mision es que mis tres hijos conoscan de nuestra comida Ecuatoriana y la disfruten. Uno de sus platos favoritos es Bolones de verde y Caldo de Bolas. Han visitado Quito y Esmeraldas y se divierten mucho experimentando con los jugos de frutas que tenemos y platos nuevos, estoy orgullosa de ellos pues estan dispuesto a probar lo que les pongas en frente. Una vez mas gracias por compartir y regalarnos estas deliciosas recetas. Felicidades Muchas gracias por las fotos, no sabes cuanto disfruto tus recetas.

I enjoyed reading your story and very much appreciated your attention to detail on the step by step process to making humitas and the pictures are beautiful and eye catching that it makes me want to make these right now lol. I began to cook at the age of 11. My father who is from Puerto Rico taught me the basic fundamentals of cooking. My first dish ever made was what is known as one of Puerto Rico's authenitc dish- arroz con pollo y habichuelas. Growing up I was taught how to make various simple meals. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed cooking until I got into my 20's. I had my own place, my own kitchen! It became fun and relaxing. It is then, that I began to really COOK. I am now 27, and have developed a passion for food and the beauty of preparing it lol. I am extremely close with my ecuadorian grandmother and growing up, I've watched her make all these authentic ecuadorian meals, didn't ever really do hands on work...but I would watch and humitas was one of the famous dishes! I have to say, it was fun watching my grandmother and her sisters make batches of them. At 12yrs old she took me with her to Ecuador for the entire summer. I was there for three months and I learned a lot of our culture, how we speak, and of coarse the FOOD! Ecuador follows the traditional three course meal of soup, a second course which includes rice and a protein such as meat or fish, and then dessert and coffee to finish. Supper is usually lighter, and sometimes consists only of coffee con pan y queso. The heavier meal was always served at what we call here in America, lunch. It took me some time to adapt to so much food...especially having soup for starters. It was a differrent soup everyday before our main meal. I loved it over there. It's an experience I will never forget. I've managed to learn much throughout my years, including a good amount of the Puerto Rican cuisine since I am also half puerto rican. I still have more to teach myself on some of their authentic complex dishes like pasteles. I will learn how to make those also. For now I'd like to give some time to the other half of my culture.Ecuadorian cuisine is something I would like to gain more knowledge of because our food is amazingly good. At 12yrs old you would think I'd be picky, nope not me! LOVED the food! Thanks again for sharing this recipe. I can't wait to give it a try :) Will definitely be back on here!
