The Canarian cuisine is rich in flavors, Spanish yes but influenced by Africa and the position of the Canary Islands in the middle of the ocean. Let's discover some dishes to try in Las Palmas!1- Papas Arrugadas
Potatoes, or papas as they are known in Spain, occupy a special place in the local diet. These "shriveled potatoes" are first boiled in salted seawater for about 30 minutes before roasting them to shrivel the skin and create a salt crust. The dish is usually served with mojo sauces.
2- Sancocho Canario
Sancocho Canario is a type of fish dish that is commonly eaten on Good Friday. Sancocho usually means stew, especially in Latin America. But in the Canary Islands the dish is presented without much sauce. To prepare this dish, preserved and salted fish is used - after soaking it for 24 hours, the fish is boiled with potatoes gently and served with your favorite mojo sauce.
