Sobre la cocina danesa

La cocina danesa se basa en el pan de centeno, la carne de cerdo, los lácteos y el mar. Su emblema es el smørrebrød: masa madre densa de centeno (rugbrød) untada con mantequilla y formando sándwiches abiertos con aderezos codificados: arenque encurtido con cebolla y alcaparras, filete de pescado frito con remoulade, cerdo asado con col lombarda o el 'stjerneskud' con camarones. Los platos calientes clásicos siguen la misma lógica abundante: frikadeller (albóndigas de cerdo fritas), stegt flæsk med persillesovs (panceta de cerdo crujiente con salsa de perejil, el plato nacional oficial) y flæskesteg de cerdo asado con chicharrones.

Las tradiciones lácteas y panificadoras de Dinamarca son profundas. La mantequilla y la nata rematan salsas y pasteles por igual; El pastel "danés" se llama localmente wienerbrød (pan de Viena) porque los panaderos austriacos trajeron técnicas de laminación durante una huelga de panaderos en la década de 1850, después de lo cual los daneses las perfeccionaron con más mantequilla y relleno de remonce. La Navidad trae consigo el flæskesteg, pato con manzanas y ciruelas pasas, patatas caramelizadas y risalamande, el arroz con leche de almendras con salsa de cerezas y una caza de almendras enteras escondidas.

Desde principios de la década de 2000, Dinamarca también ha sido el motor de la nueva cocina nórdica. El manifiesto de 2004, del que fueron coautores Claus Meyer y René Redzepi de Noma, volvió a centrar la cocina en el terruño nórdico (espino amarillo, ramsons, hierbas de playa, fermentación y cereales tradicionales) y reformuló restaurantes en todo el mundo. En casa, el ritmo cotidiano sigue siendo humilde: almuerzos de pan de centeno preparados para la escuela y el trabajo, cenas comunitarias impulsadas por la higiene y una fuerte cultura del café y la repostería.

Smørrebrød

Pan de centeno con mantequilla y aderezos codificados (arenque, solla frita con remoulade, cerdo asado) que se come con cuchillo y tenedor, nunca con las manos.

Rugbrød (pan de centeno)

El centeno de masa madre denso y sin semillas es el alimento básico diario, envasado en loncheras en todo el país y la base estructural de smørrebrød.

Cerdo y Frikadeller

La herencia de la cría de cerdos de Dinamarca se muestra en las albóndigas frikadeller, el flæskesteg con chicharrón y el plato nacional, panceta de cerdo crujiente con salsa de perejil.

Arenque En Escabeche

El sild curado en vinagre, crema de curry o adobos de jerez abre todas las mesas de almuerzo danesas, especialmente en Navidad y Pascua.

Wienerbrød y horneado de mantequilla

Los pasteles "daneses" laminados con remonce, además del kanelsnegle y el pastel de ensueño (drømmekage), definen la legendaria cultura de la panadería.

Nuevo pensamiento nórdico

El manifiesto de la era Noma impulsó la búsqueda de comida, la fermentación y el terruño nórdico en la buena mesa mundial y de nuevo en los hábitos hogareños daneses.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre la cocina danesa

¿Por qué es conocida la comida danesa?▾

Sándwiches de centeno abiertos Smørrebrød, pasteles daneses (wienerbrød), albóndigas frikadeller, cerdo asado crujiente con chicharrones, arenque en escabeche y perritos calientes de los carritos callejeros de pølsevogn. Dinamarca es también la cuna de la nueva cocina nórdica (el movimiento de búsqueda y fermentación lanzado en torno a Noma en Copenhague) y de la acogedora cultura gastronómica resumida en hygge.

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre la comida danesa y sueca?▾

Se superponen mucho (arenque, centeno, cerdo, bayas), pero Dinamarca hizo del sándwich abierto (smørrebrød) su pieza central, mientras que Suecia formalizó el buffet smörgåsbord y el plato de albóndigas y arándanos rojos. La comida danesa se basa más en mantequilla, chicharrones y pasteles laminados; Suecia con arándanos rojos, pescado curado con eneldo y sopa de guisantes de los jueves. El rugbrød danés es más oscuro y denso que la mayoría de los panes suecos.

¿Por qué se llama pastelería danesa?▾

En Dinamarca se llama wienerbrød ('pan de Viena') porque los panaderos austriacos introdujeron la masa de levadura laminada en Copenhague durante una huelga de panaderos daneses en la década de 1850. Luego, los panaderos daneses enriquecieron la técnica con más mantequilla y remonce (un relleno de crema de mantequilla y azúcar), creando spandauer, kanelsnegle y los pasteles que el resto del mundo ahora llama simplemente "daneses".

¿Qué plato danés debería cocinar primero un principiante?▾

Frikadeller: mezcle carne de cerdo molida (o cerdo y ternera) con cebolla rallada, huevo, harina o avena y leche, luego fría a cucharadas en mantequilla hasta que se dore. Sirva con papas hervidas, salsa marrón o repollo blanco guisado y repollo rojo en escabeche. Smørrebrød es la otra entrada fácil: un buen pan de centeno, mantequilla y un cuidadoso montaje de la cobertura son todo el arte.

¿Qué es una cena navideña tradicional danesa?▾

Pato asado con manzanas y ciruelas pasas y/o flæskesteg (cerdo asado con chicharrones), patatas hervidas más brunede kartofler (patatas caramelizadas en mantequilla y azúcar), col lombarda y salsa espesa de color marrón. El postre es risalamande (arroz con leche frío doblado con crema batida y almendras picadas, servido con salsa tibia de cerezas), donde al encontrar una sola almendra entera se gana un cerdo de mazapán.
