About Encebollado

Encebollado is a traditional Ecuadorian fish soup, renowned for its comforting flavors and cultural significance. This hearty dish features fresh, flaky tuna or albacore boiled with yuca (cassava), red onions, tomatoes, and a fragrant blend of herbs and spices, including cilantro and cumin. Often served with lime juice, chili sauce, and sides like plantain chips or bread, Encebollado is a popular breakfast or lunch option. It is rich in protein from the fish and offers complex carbohydrates from the yuca, making it a filling and energizing meal. Tuna, the star ingredient, is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, promoting heart health. However, the dish can be high in sodium depending on preparation, and fried side options may contribute additional fat. Encebollado balances indulgence with wholesome nutrition, making it a flavorful staple of Ecuadorian cuisine.
