Manostureita

Manostureita is a traditional dish from the Canary Islands, Spain, particularly popular in the island of Tenerife. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, reflecting the island's diverse culinary influences. The dish typically includes a base of potatoes, onions, and garlic, which are cooked together until softened. This base is then combined with a variety of meats, such as pork, beef, or chicken, which are slow-cooked to ensure tenderness. The stew is often thickened with a roux made from flour and water, and flavored with paprika, a common spice in Canarian cuisine. Additional ingredients may include bell peppers, tomatoes, and olives, contributing to the dish's rich and complex flavor profile. Manostureita is often served with crusty bread and a side of salad, making it a satisfying and filling meal. The dish is a staple in Canarian cuisine and is enjoyed both locally and by visitors seeking to experience the unique flavors of the region.
