Canary Island Eating & Drinking
Canarian cuisines are the distinctive ingredients and dishes of the Canary Islands includung mojos (like mojo picon), papas arrugadas and wines from malvasia grapes.
Mojo (pronouncing mO-ho) is like a sauce that might be red, green or orange depending on components. It is quite heavy with garlic, fairly spicy.
Papas arrugadas, meaning crumpled potato, contain small potatoes boiled with salt water, generally served with cooked chicken with mojo toppings.
Another typical Canarian food is gofio, a kind of locally made flour produced by roasted and grinded sweet corn, eaten there as substitute of bread with many dishes.
Ropa vieja is a dish prepared with beef and chicken with mixture of garbanzo beans and potatoes. They quite often make foods yellow, by either local azafran (that is saffron) or by food colorings. Also included in the Canarian cuisine are Spanish peninsula, Paella and Spanish tortilla.
Canary cooking also contains so many dishes made by fishes caught near the island coast. Among them are very delicious sancocho canario, prepared with mojo and salted fish, rabbit with salmorejo, a sauce containing olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, water etc. Tomato and banana, two of the major sources of the island’s wealth, also play important role to make the Canary cuisine mouth watering as do the papaya fruit and avocado pear. The outstanding sweets are tirijalas, turrones de melza, bienmesabes, frangollo, lustrados and bizcochos.
Local drinks include special malmsey wines, rum, rum-cum-honey and the red portions of Tacoronte.
