Food from The Mandalorian: Sustenance on the Galaxy's Edge

Din Djarin (The Mandalorian) and Grogu travel the edges of the Galaxy where civilisation is minimal. Street food of Imperial outposts, Tatooine cantinas, grilled meat over a fire — simple, nutritious food of survival.

History and origin

The Mandalorian (2019) was the first live-action Star Wars series for Disney+. The creators were inspired by spaghetti westerns, and this shows in the food: simple, meaty, trail-style — as in any good western.

Key ingredients

A 'Mandalorian' menu for a themed party: grilled chicken wings (over open fire or in the oven), corn tortillas, dried meat jerky, chilli-roasted nuts and simple dark bread.

How to cook at home

For the 'fire' effect, roast the wings in the oven first (200°C, 35 minutes), then hold them over an open flame or under the grill for one minute. Marinade: smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, lime and a pinch of cayenne.
