Canarian Cuisine

Potaje de berros is a very popular soup recipe from the Canary Islands, which is actually a watercress soup, served as the first course with many lunch menus across the Canaries.

One of the traditional dishes of the Canary Islands, these mojo sauces are served almost with every meal, especially to accompany the famous papas arrugadas or wrinkly Canarian potatoes.

Rancho Canario is a popular type of stew, served in all the Canary Islands, so if you've visited an authentic restaurant during your holidays you might have tried it already. The recipe usually calls for beef and chicken meat, but there are lots of variations and you can also add chorizo or smoked pork ribs for more flavor.

The wrinkly potatoes, or papas arrugadas as they are called by the canarians, are the archipelago's most famous dish and at first many people wonder what can be so special when it comes to potatoes.
