The classic Polvorosa is the chicken one, however, we have allowed ourselves to experiment to achieve variations and new flavor combinations. Thus, we have the Beef Polvorosa and the Chickpeas and Spinach Polvorosa, the latter borrowing foreign tones led by curry and ginger.

What is a Chicken Polvorosa?

A Chicken Polvorosa is a traditional savory pie of Caracas gastronomy. This recipe shows the deep Hispanic influence in Caribbean gastronomy. The pie is characterized by its delicate and crumbly dough, inherited from the Spanish Polvorón, and by the exquisite contrast between sweet, salty and sour of its complex and tasty stew.

Polvorosa is a recipe that caraqueños treasure to prepare at festive moments to share with the family. It is usually prepared in a large refractory mold, we preferred to make them in individual molds to make it easier to enjoy and transport.
