"This is an odd little gem of a recipe, not at all untypical of the way Ecuadoreans use plantains. Corvina is a saltwater fish very common in Latin America. Sea bass is a good substitute, though most any white, firm fleshed fish would do. There is a recipe for making achiote from annatto seeds by Rita L -- Annatto Oil. After Kathy's review,..."

"This is our family recipe for traditional Christmas tamales. They are nothing at all like Mexican tamales. The dough is smoother and slightly sweet. The filling is also completely different from any other kind of tamale I have ever eaten. I have given the family recipe but, of course, I have made a few changes to it. I use all butter instead of using..."

"Braised beef with juicy gravy and fried egg on top. If you can't find Ranchera steaks, try a latin meat market. If you use another kind of steak, try a very thinly sliced chuck steak. You may have to cook it longer for it to be tender.
