Encebollado is a traditional Ecuadorian fish stew commonly served at breakfast time. This rich stew has been recognized as the national dish of Ecuador. The translation of the word “encebollado” means ‘cooked with onions,’ to put it simply. However, the flavor of this tasty dish cannot be summed up that easily. With a host of toppings and accompaniments, it is a lot more complex than fish and onions.
