Amazonian smoke with nothing getting in the way: cecina browned just until the edges tighten, caramelized ripe plantain, and a cocona salsa with ají charapita that resets the palate after every bite. Salt, smoke, sweetness, and acidity take turns without competing. The aroma left in the pan tends to summon forks ahead of schedule.
