Canarian Culinary Gem: La Croquetería de Moya Shares Octopus "Ropa Vieja" Recipe Las Palmas, Gran Canaria – La Croquetería de Moya, a renowned local establishment known for its unique croquettes, has recently unveiled a step-by-step guide to preparing a traditional Canarian delicacy: "Ropa Vieja de Pulpo." The instructional video, shared by a chef from the eatery, offers a glimpse into the authentic preparation of this hearty dish, combining fresh ingredients with time-honored techniques. The chef meticulously demonstrates the process, beginning with the creation of a vibrant sofrito. "We start by sautéing a colorful mix of diced onions, red and green peppers, and garlic," she explains, emphasizing the importance of building a flavorful base. Following this, a blend of spices including cumin, garlic powder, and oregano is incorporated, along with a rich, homemade fried tomato sauce, creating a fragrant and robust foundation for the dish. The video then moves to the preparation of the main components: perfectly diced and fried potatoes, and expertly chopped cooked octopus. These elements are then combined with chickpeas in a large pan. The chef highlights the final assembly: "We add the chickpeas, the golden fried potatoes, and the tender chopped octopus, then gently pour in our aromatic sofrito." A final seasoning of salt and oregano is added before the entire mixture is thoroughly stirred and left to simmer, allowing the flavors to meld into a comforting and authentic Canarian experience. The initiative by La Croquetería de Moya not only promotes local cuisine but also empowers home cooks to recreate a piece of Canarian culinary heritage in their own kitchens.
