Subject: Canarian potatoes
do you have a recipe for Canarian potatoes - as found in Tenerife. Thanks, Ken
Hi Ken,
Two below, with some more Canarian recipes.
Phaed
Papas Aguardias - Canarian Potatoes boiled and coated in rock salt
2 kg Small potatoes - (Black if possible)
4 Tablespoons Rock Salt - (NOT table salt)
Water
Wash the potatoes thoroughly in fresh water. Do not peel, add potatoes
to saucepan of fresh water with 4 tablespoons of Rock Salt. Bring to
the boil and simmer fast for 20 min until cooked. Drain off excess
water, leaving small amount of water in bottom. Return to heat an boil
off remaining liquid, keeping potatoes moving until skin are dry. Remove,
any excess salt (not all) from skins with tissue and serve in separate,
warmed bowl.
----------------------------------------------------------
"Mojos Canarion"
Papas arrugadas con salsa mojo
Place medium red potatoes in a pan with 1/3 cup of salt and cook for
30-40 minutes. drain off the water, rinse off any excess salt and return
potatoes to the heat until they are dry.Coat with sauce.
Red mojo sauce or (salsa mojo picon)
(No two recipes seem to be the same for mojo sauces but these are fairly
typical)
Olive oil or Sunflower oil and a little wine vinegar plus lots of garlic,
red pepper, a chilli or two and a pinch of cumin and some whole cumin seeds,
all pounded together in a mortar. Thicken with a little hard white bread
as required.
In the Canaries a local "saffron" (azafran del pais) is used but if you
have access to this it will be easier to buy the sauce in a bottle !
Green Mojo Sauce (salsa mojo verde or salsa verde picante)
Oil, wine vinegar, green pepper, garlic, finely chopped parsley and
coriander leaves.Include avocado for a creanier sauce.This time don't add
any breadcrumbs as this is a thin sauce for fish.
Carrot sauce (mojo de zanahoria Canarion)
Oil, garlic, paprika,salt, vinegar, carrot (pureed) and thyme or other
herbs.
I had this sauce in an excellent Valentine's day gala meal at the parador
up in the old crater on Tenerife.
Corazon de solomillo San Valentin - Parador de Turismo de las Canadas del
Teide
Slice open a piece of centre fillet steak to make a "book". Fill the book
with carrot mojo, dip the whole thing in beaten egg and just show it to
the frying-pan (both sides !). Serve with a boiled potato or some asparagus.

Love your site. I lost my booklet that come with a Dazey electric
donut maker back in the 70's. The recipes you have on your site
now don't work very well. If you can find this, I would be elated.
Their basic donut recipe is the best. You can add apple cider instead
of milk or water and they taste just like Cider Mill donuts.
Thanks,
Sue
