Guatita

Guatita is Ecuador's national dish, a hearty, thick stew consisting of tripe simmered in a sauce of peanuts and potatoes. The name of the dish can be translated as little guts. Tripe must be cleaned a few times with lemon juice and water, then chopped and fried with onion and spices before being combined with potatoes and peanut butter. The dish is traditionally served with white rice, pickled onions, avocado slices, and hot sauce on the side.
