Panama is not only a beautiful place to visit, it’s also a beautiful place for Americans to retire. The community is alive and thriving, and still producing these easy to fix, country originated recipes for you to try.
Panamanian Pork Stew
Sweet potatoes are the star of this stew and they are nutritional superstars, too. One sweet potato provides about two and a half times the RDA for healthy adults of vitamin A, plus fiber, potassium and vitamin C.
Arroz Con Pollo
This recipe is wonderful. Recently I fixed a Panamanian dinner for close friends here in Colorado with arroz con pollo, plantain, stuffed chayote, mango salad and a coffee dessert. It was a big hit! Note: saffron is expensive and sometimes hard to find. I buy packaged saffron rice and substitute half that kind with regular plain white rice, and it gives it a wonderful flavor.
Empanadas
Try some delicious empanadas.
Sopa Borracha Rum Cake
This wonderfully light and airy sponge cake is prepared the Panamanian way, drenched in a rum-and-sherry syrup.
Savory Panamanian Lentils
blisstir‘s Note:
Lentils are a comfort food in Panama, and now one of my favorites. They are healthy and delicious and this is the best recipe I have tried.
