Sobre la cocina argentina

La cocina argentina se forjó en los pastizales pampeanos, donde la cultura ganadera gaucha hizo de la carne de vacuno la identidad nacional. El asado, un ritual de asado lento sobre brasas de leña en una parrilla, sigue siendo el evento social definitorio del país, que se elabora a través de chorizo y morcilla, mollejas, costillas (asado de tira) y cortes de falda, aderezados solo con sal y terminados con chimichurri de perejil, ajo, orégano y vinagre. Argentina estuvo durante mucho tiempo entre los mayores consumidores de carne vacuna per cápita del mundo.

La inmigración masiva de italianos y españoles entre 1880 y 1930 remodeló la alimentación cotidiana. Los italianos aportaban chuletas empanizadas a la milanesa, pasta fresca los domingos, ñoquis el 29 de cada mes y fugazzeta, la pizza de cebolla y queso de Buenos Aires con una corteza gruesa a diferencia de la de Nápoles. Los españoles trajeron la empanada, que evolucionó hacia formas ferozmente regionales: carne jugosa cortada a mano en Salta, versiones más dulces con pasas y aceitunas en Tucumán. El norte comparte platos andinos como el locro, un guiso de maíz y calabaza que se come en las fiestas patrias.

La vida hogareña se basa en yerba mate, la infusión amarga y con cafeína que se bebe a través de una pajita de bombilla y se pasa en círculo, más un ritual social que una bebida. Dulce de leche, caramelo de leche, alfajores rellenos, galletas, bollería y tostadas de desayuno. El asado dominical o la pasta con la familia extendida sigue siendo la comida estructural de la semana, y el Malbec de Mendoza es el acompañante predeterminado de la carne de res.

Asado y parrillada

El asado lento a brasas de leña de cortes de carne, salchichas y despojos es el ritual nacional, sazonado únicamente con sal y paciencia.

Chimichurri

La salsa de perejil, ajo, orégano, vinagre y aceite es el condimento esencial del asado y se sirve sobre carnes asadas en lugar de marinarlas.

Empanadas

Los pasteles rellenos horneados o fritos varían según la provincia: la carne de res cortada a mano de Salta con papa, la de Tucumán con pasas y aceitunas.

herencia italiana

Las milanesas, la pasta fresca, los ñoquis del 29 y la pizza fugazzeta de masa gruesa llegaron con la inmigración italiana masiva y se convirtieron en productos básicos nacionales.

dulce de leche

El caramelo de leche cocido a fuego lento rellena alfajores, facturas y postres, y se consume en cantidades incomparables en otros lugares.

Yerba Mate

La amarga infusión compartida, sorbida a través de una bombilla de calabaza, estructura la vida social desde el desayuno.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre la cocina argentina

¿Por qué es conocida la comida argentina?▾

Argentina es conocida sobre todo por la carne de res: asado asado a la parrilla sobre brasas de leña, filetes como el bife de chorizo y salsa chimichurri. Más allá de la carne de res, sus firmas son las empanadas, las milanesas, el dulce de leche, las galletas de alfajores y la yerba mate. La fuerte inmigración italiana también hizo que la pasta, los ñoquis y una distintiva pizza de masa gruesa formaran parte de la dieta nacional.

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre asado y barbacoa americana?▾

El asado asa la carne lentamente sobre brasas de madera dura (sin llama directa ni cámaras de humo), sazonada solo con sal gruesa, sin frotar ni salsa durante la cocción. Es un evento social de varias horas que avanza a través de embutidos, despojos y cortes como el asado de tira. La barbacoa americana ahuma carne con aderezos y salsas; El único condimento del asado, el chimichurri, se añade en la mesa.

¿La comida argentina es picante?▾

No, se encuentra entre las cocinas menos picantes de América Latina. El condimento se basa en sal, ajo, perejil, orégano y pimentón; El chimichurri tiene un sabor picante y a hierbas, pero prácticamente no tiene picor. Incluso los rellenos de empanadas usan pimentón dulce y comino en lugar de chile. Cualquier persona sensible a las especias puede comer cómodamente todo el repertorio argentino.

¿Qué platos argentinos debería cocinar primero un principiante?▾

El chimichurri tarda cinco minutos y transforma cualquier bistec a la parrilla. Las milanesas (chuletas de pollo o ternera empanizadas y fritas) son sencillas entre semana y a menudo están cubiertas con tomate y queso como la milanesa napolitana. Las empanadas de ternera al horno son un proyecto satisfactorio de fin de semana con discos de masa (tapas) comprados en la tienda. Alfajores con dulce de leche cubren postre sin habilidad avanzada de repostería.

¿Qué es la yerba mate y cómo se bebe?▾

La yerba mate es una infusión con cafeína de la planta Ilex paraguariensis, que se bebe caliente de una calabaza (mate) a través de una pajita de metal filtrada (bombilla). Una persona, el cebador, rellena la calabaza con agua caliente (nunca hirviendo, alrededor de 70-80°C) y la pasa en círculo; cada bebedor termina la calabaza antes de volver a llenarla. Es herbáceo, amargo y tiene tanto ritual social como una bebida.
