Los Chillos, Ecuador
Hornados Dieguito
In the Valle de los Chillos, hornado, slow-roasted whole pig, a fixture of Ecuadorian highland market culture, is the reason people make the drive out from Quito. Hornados Dieguito, positioned along the road through El Tingo in Barrio los Pinos, is one of the valley's dedicated stops for this tradition, serving a dish whose preparation is inseparable from the agricultural character of the surrounding sierra.
