El Mote
Mote is a food made by cooking corn in a clay pot and firewood. It is consumed everywhere in the city of Cuenca, and can be found in the different markets, fairs and neighbourhood shops. It is present at the table of Cuenca's families in both urban and rural areas, accompanying people's daily lives and their ritual and festive celebrations. It is used to prepare dishes such as motepillo, motepata or as a garnish for roast guinea pig and locro de papas, among others.
