Let’s go back to the memories of Spain, in the Canary Islands …!
All restaurants, cafes and tapaserie of these islands, serve this dish … papas arrugadas that normally come with 2 or 3 sauces: mojo rojo, mojo verde and aioli.
ingredients:
1 kg small new potatoes (the quality using in the Canaries is the “papa bonita”
1 kg coarse sea salt
water
procedure:
Wash the potatoes very well, (they will be cooked and successively eaten with the skin), put them in a pot, add 500 g of salt and enough water to cover the potatoes. The potatoes should float, if not , add more salt.
Cook the papas for about 20 minutes, until they are tender inside, but they shoul’d be too soft. Strain and pour into a pan, add the remaining salt and put them back on the stove stirring gently until the skin become “arrugada.”
Serve hot accompanied with mojo sauce and or aioli.
These sauces are typical of Cuba and the Canary Islands. Can be used to accompany fish, meat and vegetables.
