Über die Argentinische Küche

Die argentinische Küche entstand im Grasland der Pampa, wo die Rinderkultur der Gauchos Rindfleisch zur nationalen Identität machte. Das Asado – ein Ritual des langsamen Grillens über Holzglut auf einer Parrilla – ist nach wie vor das bestimmende gesellschaftliche Ereignis des Landes und besteht aus Chorizo- und Morcilla-Würstchen, Kalbsbries (Mollejas), kurzen Rippchen (Asado de Tira) und Flankenstücken, nur mit Salz gewürzt und mit Chimichurri aus Petersilie, Knoblauch, Oregano und Essig abgerundet. Argentinien gehörte lange Zeit zu den Ländern mit dem höchsten Pro-Kopf-Rindfleischverbrauch der Welt.

Die massive italienische und spanische Einwanderung zwischen 1880 und 1930 veränderte das alltägliche Essen. Die Italiener spendeten panierte Milanesa-Schnitzel, sonntags frische Pasta, ñoquis am 29. eines jeden Monats und Fugazzeta – Buenos Aires‘ Zwiebel-Käse-Pizza mit einer dicken Kruste im Gegensatz zu Neapel. Die Spanier brachten die Empanada mit, die sich zu äußerst regionalen Formen entwickelte: saftiges handgeschnittenes Rindfleisch in Salta, süßere Versionen mit Rosinen und Oliven in Tucumán. Im Norden gibt es Andengerichte wie Locro, einen Hominy-Kürbis-Eintopf, der an patriotischen Feiertagen gegessen wird.

Das Leben zu Hause basiert auf Yerba Mate, dem bitteren koffeinhaltigen Aufguss, der durch einen Bombilla-Strohhalm getrunken und im Kreis weitergegeben wird – eher ein geselliges Ritual als ein Getränk. Dulce de Leche, Milchkaramell, füllt Alfajores-Kekse, Gebäck und Frühstückstoast. Sonntags-Asado oder Pasta mit der Großfamilie bleiben die Grundmahlzeit der Woche, und Malbec aus Mendoza ist der Standardbegleiter zu Rindfleisch.

Asado und die Parrilla

Das langsame Grillen von Rindfleischstücken, Würstchen und Innereien auf Holzkohle ist das nationale Ritual, gewürzt nur mit Salz und Geduld.

Chimichurri

Die Soße aus Petersilie, Knoblauch, Oregano, Essig und Öl ist Asados unverzichtbares Gewürz und wird über gegrilltes Fleisch gelöffelt und nicht darin mariniert.

Empanadas

Gebackenes oder frittiertes gefülltes Gebäck variiert je nach Provinz – Saltas handgeschnittenes Rindfleisch mit Kartoffeln, Tucumáns mit Rosinen und Oliven.

Italienisches Erbe

Milanesas, frische Pasta, ñoquis del 29 und Fugazzeta-Pizza mit dicker Kruste kamen mit der italienischen Masseneinwanderung und wurden zu nationalen Grundnahrungsmitteln.

Dulce de Leche

Langsam gekochtes Milchkaramell füllt Alfajores, Facturas-Gebäck und Desserts und wird in Mengen verzehrt, die anderswo ihresgleichen suchen.

Yerba Mate

Der gemeinsame bittere Aufguss, getrunken durch eine Bombilla aus einem Kürbis, strukturiert das gesellschaftliche Leben vom Frühstück an.

Argentinische Küche: Häufig gestellte Fragen

Wofür ist argentinisches Essen bekannt?▾

Argentinien ist vor allem für Rindfleisch bekannt – über Holzkohle gegrilltes Asado-Barbecue, Steaks wie Bife de Chorizo und Chimichurri-Sauce. Neben Rindfleisch gehören Empanadas, Milanesa-Schnitzel, Dulce de Leche, Alfajores-Kekse und Yerba Mate zu seinen Spezialitäten. Durch die starke italienische Einwanderung wurden auch Pasta, Oquis und eine charakteristische Pizza mit dickem Boden zu einem Teil der nationalen Ernährung.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Asado und amerikanischem Barbecue?▾

Asado grillt Fleisch langsam über Hartholzglut (keine direkte Flamme oder Räucherkammern), gewürzt nur mit grobem Salz – kein Reiben, keine Soße beim Kochen. Es handelt sich um ein mehrstündiges gesellschaftliches Ereignis, bei dem es um Würstchen, Innereien und Aufschnitte wie Asado de Tira geht. Amerikanisches Barbecue räuchert Fleisch mit Rubs und Soßen; Asados einziges Gewürz, Chimichurri, wird am Tisch hinzugefügt.

Ist argentinisches Essen scharf?▾

Nein – es gehört zu den am wenigsten scharfen Gerichten Lateinamerikas. Zum Würzen werden Salz, Knoblauch, Petersilie, Oregano und Paprika verwendet. Chimichurri hat einen würzigen und kräuterigen Geschmack, aber praktisch keine Schärfe. Sogar Empanada-Füllungen verwenden süßen Paprika und Kreuzkümmel anstelle von Chili. Wer empfindlich auf Gewürze reagiert, kann das gesamte argentinische Repertoire bequem verspeisen.

Welche argentinischen Gerichte sollte ein Anfänger zuerst kochen?▾

Chimichurri dauert fünf Minuten und verwandelt jedes gegrillte Steak. Milanesas – panierte, gebratene Rinder- oder Hähnchenschnitzel – sind unter der Woche einfach zuzubereiten und werden oft mit Tomaten und Käse als Milanesa Napolitana belegt. Gebackene Rindfleisch-Empanadas sind ein sättigendes Wochenendprojekt mit im Laden gekauften Teigscheiben (Tapas). Alfajores mit Dulce de Leche bedecken das Dessert ohne fortgeschrittene Konditorkenntnisse.

Was ist Yerba Mate und wie wird es getrunken?▾

Yerba Mate ist ein koffeinhaltiger Aufguss der Pflanze Ilex paraguariensis, der heiß aus einem Kürbis (Mate) durch einen gefilterten Metallstrohhalm (Bombilla) getrunken wird. Eine Person, der Cebador, füllt den Kürbis wieder mit heißem Wasser – niemals kochend, etwa 70–80 °C – und lässt ihn im Kreis herumlaufen; Jeder Trinker leert den Kürbis, bevor er wieder aufgefüllt wird. Es ist grasig, bitter und ebenso ein gesellschaftliches Ritual wie ein Getränk.
