Canarian gastronomy is very varied, with typical and different foods such as gofio or dishes with the authentic flavour of our islands, such as mojo picón. There are countless ingredients and dishes that could be described, but we are going to add a touch of spice to this post with the best elements of the island’s cuisine.
Typical food from the Canary Islands
The papa arrugada (wrinkled potato) is one of the staple foods of the Canary Islands. Everyone knows that when you visit the islands you should taste this potato stewed with salt and accompanied by one of the typical mojos, green or red. The “papa arrugada” (wrinkled potato) was born out of the need of the Canarian people in other times, as it is an inexpensive dish.
Gofio is another “must” on the islands. This flour, which comes from the grinding of different types of cereals, is usually eaten as a caloric food with milk, stew, broth or even as part of a dessert. Gofio mousse or escaldón are typical dishes made in the Canary Islands with this peculiar and little-used element outside our borders.
The banana is the typical fruit of the islands; its tropical climate allows banana plantations to cover the landscape of the archipelago and for generations the consumption of this nutritious fruit rich in potassium has been promoted.
Sancocho, miel de palma, ropa vieja, almogrote, the different varieties of Canarian cheeses, etc. All these foods make up a gastronomy of survival, traditional and humble. A gastronomy full of flavour.
