How to make Dominican street food (yaroa)

yaroa is one of the most delicious street foods in the dominican republic and today i will show you how to make it

SANTIAGO.- There is a very particular dish of Santiago's "urban night gastronomy" that reigns in the areas with the highest influx of public, mainly around the area of ​​the monument. For the residents of the capital, it is a culinary exoticism that cannot be missed when visiting the "City Heart".

It is the "Yaroa", a delicacy whose name provokes a Taíno evocation and which arises from the "invention" of Karina, a young resident of the Puerto Plata community of Yaroa, who mixed several ingredients in an experimentation that, at that time, did not went from being for family consumption.

She did not imagine that the occurrence would end up being a company, because that "con tó" that she served at home identifies the "Yaroa", a dish demanded by lovers of food baked in the open air that she sniffs and tastes during the nightly hum.

At first glance, one might think that, more than a "fast food" dish, the "yaroa" is a lasagna or pastry made in the street. And it is not for less, since the combination of the ingredients on the “foam” plate together with its finish of melted yellow cheese gives that appearance. But the "Yaroa" is a recipe based on cheese, fried potatoes and pork leg meat and "picadita" chicken that forces hundreds of people to make Indian filita every night in the monumental area and surrounding areas.

In fact, if you ask any expert in "Santiago nightlife" about which is the main place to get started in the "Yaroa" experience, they will undoubtedly tell you to direct their steps towards "Oché", near the matum hotel.

The establishment called "Oché" is owned by the brothers José (Oché) and Oliver Toribio, who entrusted Luis Rafael Fernández with the administration of the prosperous point. In six years of work, Fernández assures that in that little corner they make more than 200 yaroas daily.

With his hands on fire, the “Oché” guide defends the “unbeatable” quality of his “Yaroas”.

He says that the others are imitations, because the real one was born there, with them.
