Menestra de porotos is an Ecuadorian bean stew, made with beans simmered in a sauce of onions, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, chili powder and cilantro or parsley.
Bright orange sriracha sauce over shredded imitation crab "noodles" with vibrant green scallions and giant scallops seared to perfection... If I see them on the menu I almost have to order them!
Chicken tenderloins are topped with an easy pan sauce made with white wine, garlic, lemon and capers pair perfectly with mashed potatoes and a glass of Chardonnay.
