Sobre la cocina cubana

La cocina cubana es cocina criolla: técnica e ingredientes españoles reelaborados en el Caribe con manos africanas y productos básicos taínos. España suministró sofrito, carne de cerdo, arroz y adobos de cítricos y ajo; Las costumbres gastronómicas de África occidental moldearon el amor por los tubérculos (viandas) como la yuca, la malanga y el boniato, además de los guisos lentos en una sola olla; los taínos contribuyeron a cocinar con mandioca y barbacoa. El resultado es una cocina de lechón asado marinado, frijoles negros con arroz y plátanos en cada estado de madurez.

Los platos exclusivos cuentan la historia de la isla. La ropa vieja (carne deshebrada en sofrito de tomate, pimiento y aceitunas) llegó con los canarios. Moros y cristianos cocinan frijoles negros y arroz juntos; El arroz con pollo obtiene su color del bijol o del azafrán. El mojo, la salsa esencial de naranja agria, ajo, orégano y comino, marina la carne de cerdo y adereza la yuca hervida. El sándwich cubano (cerdo asado, jamón, queso suizo, pepinillos y mostaza prensado sobre pan enriquecido con manteca) nació en las comunidades de trabajadores tabaqueros que unen La Habana, Key West y Tampa.

La comida cubana es notablemente amable con el Caribe: el ajo, la cebolla, el comino, el orégano y el laurel aportan profundidad sin el picante del chile, ya que los pimientos picantes nunca se arraigaron en la isla. La cocina casera se centra en el caldero, una olla pesada para arroz y frijoles, y en estirar los ingredientes: picadillo con pasas y aceitunas sobre arroz, guisos de caldosa, tostones machacados y fritos dos veces. Café dulce fuerte (cafecito), pasteles de guayaba y flan cierran la comida.

Sofrito Criollo

Cebolla, ajo, pimiento verde y tomate fritos lentamente en aceite: punto de partida de frijoles, guisos, picadillo y arroces.

Mojo

El jugo de naranja agria, el ajo crudo, el orégano y el comino forman la marinada para el lechón asado y el aderezo para la yuca hervida.

Frijoles Negros Y Arroz

Servidos por separado como frijoles negros o cocinados juntos como moros y cristianos, la base diaria del plato cubano.

Lechón Asado

Carne de cerdo entera o paleta marinada en mojo y asada a fuego lento hasta que la piel esté crujiente: la pieza central de Nochebuena y de cada celebración.

Plátanos de tres maneras

Verdes como tostones fritos dos veces, maduros como maduros dulces o hervidos en guisos, los plátanos aparecen en casi todas las comidas cubanas.

Viandas (verduras de raíz)

La yuca con mojo, los buñuelos de malanga y el boniato reflejan las raíces taínas y africanas de las tradiciones almidonadas de la isla.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre la cocina cubana

¿Por qué es conocida la comida cubana?▾

Ropa vieja, lechón asado (cerdo asado marinado en mojo), frijoles negros y arroz, picadillo, tostones, maduros, yuca con mojo y el sándwich cubano prensado. El perfil de sabor es ajo, cítrico y sabroso (a base de sofrito, comino, orégano y naranja agria) y, como es sabido, no es picante, ya que los chiles casi no desempeñan ningún papel en la cocina tradicional de la isla.

¿La comida cubana es picante?▾

No, la comida cubana es una de las más suaves de América Latina. Los chiles picantes están esencialmente ausentes del repertorio tradicional; el sabor proviene del ajo, la cebolla, el comino, el orégano, la hoja de laurel y la naranja agria. Si un plato en un restaurante cubano está picante, es una opción moderna o de fusión, no una tradición. Los comensales reacios al calor pueden pedir cualquier cosa del menú cubano de forma segura.

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre la comida cubana y puertorriqueña?▾

Comparten raíces hispano-caribeñas (sofrito, arroz y frijoles, cerdo asado, plátanos) pero difieren en detalles. El sofrito puertorriqueño incluye culantro (recao) y ají dulce, y la cocina incluye mofongo, pasteles y arroz con gandules (gandules). La cocina cubana prefiere los frijoles negros al mojo rosado de naranja agria como condimento principal, y platos como ropa vieja y moros y cristianos.

¿Qué plato cubano debería cocinar primero un principiante?▾

Picadillo: carne molida cocinada a fuego lento con sofrito, comino, orégano, tomate, aceitunas verdes y pasas, servida sobre arroz blanco con maduros. Es una sartén, treinta minutos, y enseña la base del sabor cubano. Los frijoles negros secos con un adecuado sofrito son el siguiente paso; La ropa vieja también es fácil si tienes tiempo para estofar y desmenuzar la arrachera.

¿Qué es un verdadero sándwich cubano?▾

Pan cubano (un pan blanco suave, enriquecido con manteca de cerdo) cubierto con cerdo asado con mojo, lonchas de jamón, queso suizo, pepinillos encurtidos y mostaza amarilla, luego prensado y tostado hasta que el queso se derrita y la corteza quede crujiente. La versión de Tampa añade salami de Génova, lo que refleja su comunidad de inmigrantes italianos; Los puristas de Miami lo omiten. La mayonesa, la lechuga y el tomate se consideran universalmente violaciones.
