TOPIC: Ingredients foods of Ecuador´s coast

3. Traditional foods of Ecuador's costa or coast region
Typical dishes in the costa make use of local ingredients of Ecuador´s costa these are: plantain (savoury banana), yucca (a type of yam), coconut and rice.  There are also a wide variety of subtropical and tropical fruits (papaya, pineapple, starfruit and many more) though these do not often appear on restaurant menus other than as fresh juices.
Plantain is a staple in the costa and appears in many forms, most of them very enjoyable. Patacones are thick chunks of plantain, fried, bashed with a stone, fried again and served with salt (and a cold beer, if you can arrange it.
Chifles are thin deep-fried slices of plantain, rather like crisps. Maduro con queso is a whole, barbequed ripe plantain split open and filled with cheese, at its delicious best from the stall on the corner at the Zapotal t-junction. Unripe or green plantains are usually just denoted to as Verde (green), which can be confusing. Bolones de Verde are balls of unripe plantain mashed with cheese - perhaps the best that can be said is that they fill you up
