Salsa Rosada

We’re running Tostones in the 3pm special slot. If you’ve been by every afternoon, you’ve noticed the sauce is different every day.

This is Salsa Rosada. Eddie (Kitchen Manager and recent Cordon Bleu grad) told me that at fast-food places in Ecuador, every customer makes up their own little batch of Salsa Rosada using 2 ingredients available on the condiment station: ketchup and mayo. Eddie says his mom makes it at home to put on everything, including artichoke hearts. I never thought of mayo as part of Central/South American food. It would be an interesting thing to research. Do you think it’s common in places where French fries are popular? I was at this Peruvian charcoal chicken place, and my meal came with 2 sauces: a cilantro mayo, and a yellow pepper mayo.

We’ll be running the Tostones for the next week. Come by at 3pm and taste Eddie’s recipe for Salsa Rosada.
