If you are thinking of coming to Tenerife to spend your holidays, we would like to inform you about our buffet restaurant at Hotel El Duque, Costa Adeje in Tenerife.

 

In our buffet restaurant, you can taste our chef’s specialties in a buffet that includes hot and cold dishes, traditional recipes, and an extensive assortment of desserts with home-made cakes.

 

The restaurant kitchen at Hotel El Duque invites you to try a wide variety of dishes, both from the Canarian and Spanish gastronomy, as well as dishes from other nationalities.

 

Canarian gastronomy is one of the most cosmopolitan thanks to the different influences it has had over the years. It is an autochthonous and varied gastronomy, full of meats, fish, vegetables, cereals and vegetables, generally simple and with indigenous and Latin American influences.

 

Today we want to show you four recipes of Canarian gastronomy, which you can taste in our buffet restaurant. There are four very popular Canarian dishes on the islands and they are very simple to prepare.

 

Without further ado, we will now describe these four recipes that you must try when you come to visit the buffet restaurant of the Hotel El Duque.

PAPAS ARRUGAS

INGREDIENTS

For the papas arrugadas:
1 kg. small Canarian potatoes, 3 handfuls of salt

For the mojo picón: 
Virgin olive oil (150 ml), wine vinegar (15 ml), picona or chilli peppers (2), garlic (5 cloves), sweet paprika (2 teaspoons), ground cumin (2 teaspoons), salt (2 teaspoons)

PREPARATION

  1. We start by preparing the papas arrugas. We wash them well and leave them unpeeled, characteristic of papas arrugas.
  2. In a saucepan, we add the papas arrugas and water until they are almost covered. We add the three handfuls of salt.
  3. Cook over medium heat until they are white due to the salt. We also make sure that they are tender, which we can check if we pick them.
  4. When they are ready, we drain the water without turning off the heat and we keep them a couple more minutes so that they are dry.
  5. While the papas arrugas are being made, we will make the mojo picón. We peel the garlic and put them in a mortar together with the pepper or chilies and the cumin.
  6. Then, we put them in the blender glass and pour in the olive oil, vinegar, paprika and salt. We beat for a few minutes until the ingredients are integrated and give rise to the sauce.
