Delicious Abucco Stew: A Traditional Canary Islands Dish

Abucco is a dish that originated in the Canary Islands, specifically in the island of Gran Canaria. It is a traditional stew made with goat meat, potatoes, and mojo sauce, which is a spicy tomato-based sauce typical of the Canary Islands. The name "abucco" comes from the word "bocado," which means "bite" or "mouthful" in Spanish.

The dish is believed to have originated as a peasant food, made with humble ingredients that were readily available in the island's rural areas. Over time, it became a popular dish throughout the Canary Islands and is now considered a national dish of Gran Canaria.

Abucco is typically served with a side of papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), which are boiled potatoes that have been wrinkled by salting them before cooking. The combination of the tender goat meat, the creamy potatoes, and the spicy mojo sauce makes for a hearty and flavorful meal that is sure to satisfy any appetite.
