Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

Panama

Panama’s food is built around crossroads cuisine of culantro-scented sancocho, fried breakfasts, corvina ceviche, and coconut rice dishes. Look for Sancocho de gallina (free-range chicken soup with ñame and culantro; national dish), Hojaldre (fried dough eaten with eggs, cheese, or sausage) and Carimañola (yuca fritter stuffed with seasoned ground beef). Panama’s national dish: yard hen simmered with ñame and plenty of culantro, associated above all with the Azuero peninsula.
