Dominican Republic food

As far as the food which is available in the Dominican Republic travel goes there has been much a milieu which is available but with the initially communities which are there have been the Taino, then came in the Spanish and the French.

So if you venture into a Dominican republic for food you will find all sorts of food but the fact is that with the republic becoming a well known place for the tourists as well as for the Dominican Republic destination wedding the food that is served as become more of the food which is there at all touristy places like the pizza and French fries.

If you need more traditional food then you either need to head more into the country side and leave the famous city of Santo Domingo behind.

Dominican Republic being Caribbean island the food has that typical Caribbean touch to it. The main difference lies in the fact that the food that is there in the Caribbean DR is not that spicy.

Here is a list of a few main dishes and what they mean.

The main sauce that is used is known as the Guisado. Think of this as a curry that we can use in making so many dishes.
Guisado has garlic, onions, cilantro, and oregano and in some cases olives. In fact this sauce is used in so many of the dishes that are prepared with chicken, beef or fish.

For the breakfast they ahs something called as “mangu” which is nothing but mashed plantain with milk and butter.

The main food item which is very popular is the Bandera Dominica and that has rice, vegetables, beans, fired plaintains and meat.
Another interesting dish is the Sancocho but is mainly for us looks like a stew.

These foods that I mentioned above in the Dominican republic will have the Caribbean flavors and if you need to have more than that then you need to try the pure authentic Tainos dishes.

Here are some of the Tainos dishes.

Yuca
Casabe – bread
Catibias – Flour fritters stuffed with meat
Dulce de leche – mil candy and a dessert
