Papas Arrugadas con Mojo Rojo: CASA DANI in the WCK Restaurant Week

From October 16, World Food Day, to November 30, at CASA DANI we are joining the World Central Kitchen Restaurant Week with great enthusiasm — a solidarity campaign led by the gastronomic community to support communities affected by natural disasters and humanitarian crises.

During these weeks, we’ll be serving a dish that truly touches our hearts: Papas Arrugadas con Mojo Rojo, a traditional recipe from the Canary Islands that is very special to us. This dish is part of Las Recetas de World Central Kitchen (WCK), and we couldn’t have chosen a better one. Additionally, all proceeds will go to the NGO World Central Kitchen to help continue bringing food and hope to those most in need.

When WCK traveled to La Palma after the volcanic eruption in 2021, they supported local farmers by purchasing and serving thousands of papas arrugadas. That simple yet powerful gesture deeply inspired us. And today, four years after that eruption, we want to pay tribute to the Canary Islands, their people, and their cuisine — from our home in Mercado de la Paz and our Terrace in Calle Lagasca, 49.

We have a special affection for the islands. It was there, in Tenerife, where Lola Cuerda —the soul and driving force of CASA DANI— won the title of Best Spanish Omelette in Spain at the II National Tortilla Championship, held during the International Potato Gastronomy Forum in 2019. Since then, a part of us has always remained in the Canaries.

That’s why being part of this initiative means so much to us. So far this year, World Central Kitchen has served more than 100 million meals in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and Mexico.

From October 16 to November 30, we invite you to enjoy our Papas Arrugadas con Mojo Rojo and to cook with impact alongside us. Every plate matters. Every gesture nourishes hope.
