Valencian Chicken & Chorizo Paella
The socarrat is the whole point: saffron-perfumed rice with chicken and chorizo, cooked in the iconic wide Spanish pan until a golden, crackling crust forms at the base.
البايلا والمقبلات والجازباتشو - من المطابخ الأيبيرية المشمسة.
يحمل المطبخ الإسباني ثمانية قرون من التأثير المغاربي - اللوز والزعفران والحمضيات والأرز الذي وصل مع الأندلس - والذي غطى ثقافة زيت الزيتون الرومانية، وبعد عام 1492، المكونات من الأمريكتين: الطماطم والفلفل والبطاطس التي تحدد الآن أطباق مثل الجازباتشو والتورتيلا الإسبانية. الخنزير مركزي. أنتج تقليد ماتانزا (الذبح السنوي) جامون إيبيريكو، وتشوريزو، ومورسيلا، وهي اللحوم المعالجة التي تدعم المخزن الوطني.
إسبانيا إقليمية بشدة. تمتلك فالنسيا الباييلا، المصنوعة بشكل صحيح من أرز بومبا، والأرانب، والدجاج، والقواقع على نار مفتوحة - وليس مزيج المأكولات البحرية الذي يتوقعه السائحون. يدير إقليم الباسك مشهد المطاعم الأكثر تزيينًا في إسبانيا وتقليد بار البينتكسو؛ غاليسيا متخصصة في الأخطبوط (pulpo a la Gallega) والمحار. تقدم الأندلس السمك المقلي، والجازباتشو، والسالموريجو؛ تساهم كاتالونيا بصلصة pa amb tomàquet وصلصة الروميسكو.
يدور الطبخ المنزلي حول السوفريتو - البصل والثوم والطماطم المخففة ببطء في زيت الزيتون - والتي تبدأ بها معظم أطباق اليخنة والأرز. يأكل الأسبان في وقت متأخر وبشكل اجتماعي: الغداء حوالي الساعة الثانية بعد الظهر هو الوجبة الرئيسية، وتحول ثقافة التاباس العشاء إلى سلسلة من الأطباق الصغيرة المشتركة. تتطلب الأطباق اليومية مثل لينتيجاس كون كوريزو والتورتيلا الصبر أكثر من التقنية، حيث يتم استخدام زيت الزيتون بسخاء كدهن ونكهة.
سوفريتو
يشكل البصل والثوم والطماطم المطبوخة ببطء في زيت الزيتون قاعدة نكهة الباييلا واليخنات وعدد لا يحصى من الأطباق المنزلية الإسبانية.
المربى واللحوم المعالجة
يمثل Jamón ibérico de bellota ولحم الخنزير السيرانو والكوريزو واللومو تقليدًا علاجيًا أساسيًا في التاباس والطبخ اليومي.
أطباق الأرز
بعيدًا عن الباييلا فالنسيانا، تقوم إسبانيا بطهي أروز نيغرو مع حبر الحبار، وأروز آل هورنو، ومرق أروز كالدوسو، وكلها باستخدام أرز بومبا قصير الحبة.
زيت الزيتون
إسبانيا هي أكبر منتج لزيت الزيتون في العالم. يتم استخدامه للقلي والتشطيب واستحلاب اليولي وحتى في الحلويات.
بيمنتون
الفلفل الحلو المدخن من لا فيرا، في الدرجات الحلوة والحلوة والمرة والحارة، يعطي تشوريزو، وبولبو لا جاليجا، ويطبخ لونه ودخانه المميز.
التاباس والبينتكسوس
تُشكل الأطباق الصغيرة - من باتاتاس برافاس إلى جامباس آل أجيلو - الأكل الاجتماعي الإسباني، حيث يتم تقديم البينتكسوس الباسكي على أسياخ الخبز.

المطبخ الإسباني معروف بالباييلا، التاباس، جامون إيبيريكو، جازباتشو، وتورتيلا إسبانيولا، وكلها مبنية على زيت الزيتون والثوم والفلفل الحلو المدخن. يتم تحديده من خلال التقاليد الإقليمية - أطباق الأرز الفالنسية، والبينتكسوس الباسكي، والمأكولات البحرية الجاليكية، والأسماك المقلية الأندلسية - والنمط الاجتماعي لتناول الطعام حيث تكون الأطباق الصغيرة المشتركة وأوقات الوجبات المتأخرة مهمة بقدر أهمية الطعام نفسه.
عموما لا. الطبخ الإسباني لذيذ ولكنه خفيف. الحرارة هي الاستثناء وليست القاعدة. تظهر بيمنتون بيكانتي (البابريكا المدخنة الساخنة) والفلفل الحار غونديلا في أطباق محددة مثل صلصة باتاتاس برافاس وبيمينتوس دي بادرون (حيث تكون بعض أنواع الفلفل ساخنة فقط)، ولكن معظم الأطباق تعتمد على الثوم وزيت الزيتون والزعفران والدخان للنكهة. غالبًا ما يتم الخلط بين الطعام الإسباني والمطبخ المكسيكي الأكثر توابلًا.
إنها مطابخ متميزة تتقاسم اللغة فقط. الطعام الإسباني هو من منطقة البحر الأبيض المتوسط: زيت الزيتون، والمأكولات البحرية، ولحم الخنزير المقدد، والأرز، والتوابل الخفيفة مثل الزعفران والفلفل الحلو المدخن. يعتمد الطعام المكسيكي على الذرة (التورتيلا، الماسا)، والفاصوليا، والفلفل الحار الطازج والمجفف، ومكونات ما قبل كولومبوس. نادرًا ما يستخدم المطبخ الإسباني الفلفل الحار في التسخين أو الكزبرة أو خبز تورتيلا الذرة، وهي العناصر الأساسية في المطبخ المكسيكي.
تورتيلا إسبانيولا تعلم الصبر بالبيض والبطاطس والبصل وزيت الزيتون فقط. يستغرق Gambas al ajillo عشر دقائق. يحتاج البان كون توميت فقط إلى الخبز والطماطم الناضجة والثوم والزيت. جازباتشو هو طبق خلاط بدون طهي. بمجرد أن تشعر بالراحة، جرب الدجاج البسيط وأرز الكوريزو قبل تجربة الباييلا الحقيقية، التي تتطلب السوكارات - الطبقة السفلية المقرمشة الثمينة.
التاباس عبارة عن أطباق صغيرة يتم تقديمها في جميع أنحاء إسبانيا، ويتم طلبها من القائمة ويتم مشاركتها على الطاولة - باتاتاس برافاس، كروكيتاس، تورتيلا. Pintxos هي نسخة إقليم الباسك: أجزاء صغيرة الحجم تُشوى عادةً باستخدام عود أسنان على الخبز، وتُعرض على طاولة البار، وتُؤكل واقفة. في حانات البينتكسو، غالبًا ما تدفع عن طريق عد أعواد الأسنان في النهاية.
