| Escaldón de gofio Mojos Guachinerfe |
Escaldón de gofio ("scalded gofio") is a traditional recipe from the island of Tenerife, its main ingredient being Gofio. The escaldón de gofio is obtained by boiling a meat or fish broth that is then poured over the gofio in an earthenware container (lebrillo) and kneaded. Gofio is one of the most emblematic products in the islander's diet, created from toasted and ground cereals.
