Cuisine Dominican cuisine is the result of crossroads of many continents and many countries. Before the Spaniards arrived on the island of Hispaniola in 1492, the Taino Indians (native Hispaniolans) maintained a diet that reflected the resources found in their natural habitat, as well as their technological limitations. Fortunately, many of these dishes and ingredients have survived and today are an important part of the rich Dominican culinary culture.
Dominican cuisine is easy and spontaneous. The base of Dominican cuisine is the sofrito, which is a mixture of spices and herbs, sautéed until the flavors are set free. |
