What is the national dish/dishes in your country? ( Archived) (35)

People from all over the world are in this site ... People have shared some recipes and favorite foods but, What is the National dish in your country?. I LOVE food, it fascinates me to observe how it gets cooked, smell it, cook it, taste it and exchange ideas and personal recipes with other people that enjoy cooking. Being this place an international forum, would you mind sharing with the world what are some of the national dishes in your country?... I give a bit of info about mine: The Honduran gastronomy is quite various, since it contains native, spanish, pre-hispanic elements and, in some measure, african, as is typical in all the central american atlantic coast.

Honduran traditional kitchen is dominated by shellfish and corn, that is an indigenous cultivation that forms part of the eating base of the pre-hispanic towns of mesoamerica that inhabited the region. The typical food of Honduras is based on meats, birds and fish, omelettes, beans, rice, dairy products like cheeses and butters of the zone, vegetables and fruits. The coffee as aromatic beverage does not lack throughout the country to accompany the breakfast, the supper or any hour of the day like an element of welcome in a visit.

One of our national dishes is called Carne Asada, it can be translated as grilled meat and we eat it with fried beans, plantains, spanish cheese and butter, tortillas and chimol (diced onions, sweet peppers and tomatoes mixed with lemon juice, salt and pepper), Conch Soup we eat it with white rice and plantains.

thank you for your post but I am having a hard time trying to see the pics would you mind post the links again because i couldnt see any of the pics

cassava is one of the most important ingredients in garifunas diet here in Honduras and from it they make a traditional bread called casabe in spanish, ereba in garifuna, they serve this type of bread in special ceremonies and while they are preparing it (2 days of preparation) women sing songs related to suffering, these songs tell stories of their men and children leaving them so they can support their houses, casabe is real good and every time I get a chance to go to Tela or Roatan I make sure to buy some here is a pic

Carne Asada sounds like my type of dish! Here in the Southern United States we are infamous for frying food. Cause truly anything tastes better if it's fried in batter! lol. Problem is it's not very healthy for you, but it sure rocks your taste buds.

In Texas and throughout the deep South we're infamous for cooking "Chicken Fried Steak" and it is delicious. You serve it with gobs of white country gravy smothering the top of it. For a side order you have wedge fries and coleslaw. To drink of course you have sweetened ice tea, cause that's what you drink in the South!

Ingredients
2 pounds beef bottom round, trimmed of excess fat
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 whole eggs, beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Directions


Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.

Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices. Season each piece on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Place the eggs into a separate pie pan. Dredge the meat on both sides in the flour. Tenderize the meat, using a needling device, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Once tenderized, dredge the meat again in the flour, followed by the egg and finally in the flour again. Repeat with all the pieces of meat. Place the meat onto a plate and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking.

Place enough of the vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a 12-inch slope-sided skillet and set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the meat in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each piece on both sides until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a wire rack set in a half sheet pan and place into the oven. Repeat until all of the meat is browned.

Add the remaining vegetable oil, or at least 1 tablespoon, to the pan. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the flour left over from the dredging. Add the chicken broth and deglaze the pan. Whisk until the gravy comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Add the milk and thyme and whisk until the gravy coats the back of a spoon, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Season to taste, with more salt and pepper, if needed. Serve the gravy over the steaks.

Hey Texas very nice post, thank you, I will have to try that recipe here in Honduras because I love chicken!

Montse...I tried to post a pic but a message came up that I can only post pics in picture threads. Is there a way around that?

O-M-G !!! I'm not from the south but when I travel to Florida I try to find Chicken Fried Steak. It is delicious ! The name is deceiving because "chicken" and "steak" in the same sentence. The white gravy makes the dish sooooooooooo good. "Sweet Ice Tea" is how you order it and it is delish but it's very sweet. If I make it at home I use less sugar.

I have some cube steaks in the freezer. All I need is the white gravy and french fries....

ugh what a shame I actually dont know what they said that because I had already post pics here but thank you for trying
