Roasted Multi-Talent

Among other delicacies breakfast at El Cabrito offers home-made goat yoghourt, ingredients for muesli such as raisins, nuts, cornflakes – and gofio. Gofio? Most of our guests do not know what this is, namely roasted flour which at the times of the original Canary inhabitants was won from barley, nowadays more from maize or wheat. It is first roasted in clay containers and then very finely ground in the traditional way between basalt stones: gofio is a multi-talent which, due to the roasting lends a slightly nutty taste to meals. In the kitchens of El Cabrito stews and sauces are improved with gofio and cakes and bread are baked with this roasted flour – and even your muesli becomes more tasty with a spoonful of gofio.
