Informazioni sulle ricette argentine

La cucina argentina è stata forgiata nelle praterie della Pampa, dove la cultura del bestiame gaucho ha reso la carne bovina l'identità nazionale. L'asado - un rituale di cottura lenta sulla brace di legna su una parrilla - rimane l'evento sociale che definisce il paese, che si avvale di salsicce chorizo e morcilla, animelle (mollejas), costolette (asado de tira) e tagli di fianco, conditi solo con sale e rifiniti con chimichurri di prezzemolo, aglio, origano e aceto. L'Argentina è stata a lungo classificata tra i maggiori consumatori di carne bovina pro capite al mondo.

La massiccia immigrazione italiana e spagnola tra il 1880 e il 1930 rimodellò l’alimentazione quotidiana. Gli italiani contribuirono con cotolette impanate alla milanesa, pasta fresca la domenica, ñoquis il 29 di ogni mese e fugazzeta: la pizza con cipolla e formaggio di Buenos Aires con una crosta spessa a differenza di quella napoletana. Gli spagnoli portarono l'empanada, che si evolse in forme fortemente regionali: succosa carne di manzo tagliata a mano a Salta, versioni più dolci con uvetta e olive a Tucumán. Il nord condivide piatti andini come il locro, uno stufato di zucca e hominy consumato durante le festività patriottiche.

La vita domestica si basa sull'erba mate, l'amara infusione contenente caffeina sorseggiata attraverso una cannuccia bombilla e passata in circolo: più un rito sociale che una bevanda. Dulce de leche, caramello al latte, riempie biscotti alfajores, pasticcini e toast per la colazione. L'asado domenicale o la pasta con la famiglia allargata rimane il pasto strutturale della settimana e il Malbec di Mendoza è il compagno predefinito del manzo.

Asado e la Parrilla

La lenta cottura alla brace di tagli di manzo, salsicce e frattaglie è il rito nazionale, condito solo con sale e pazienza.

Chimichurri

La salsa di prezzemolo, aglio, origano, aceto e olio è il condimento essenziale dell'asado, versato sulle carni grigliate anziché marinato.

Empanadas

I dolci ripieni al forno o fritti variano a seconda della provincia: carne di manzo tagliata a mano con patate di Salta, carne di Tucumán con uvetta e olive.

Eredità italiana

Milanesas, pasta fresca, ñoquis del 29 e pizza fugazzeta dalla crosta spessa arrivarono con l'immigrazione italiana di massa e divennero piatti nazionali.

Dulce de Leche

Il caramello al latte a cottura lenta riempie alfajores, pasticcini e dessert, consumati in quantità senza eguali altrove.

Yerba Mate

L'infuso amaro condiviso, sorseggiato attraverso una bombilla di zucca, struttura la vita sociale dalla colazione in poi.

Domande frequenti sulle ricette argentine

Per cosa è conosciuta la cucina argentina?▾

L'Argentina è conosciuta soprattutto per la carne bovina: asado barbecue grigliato su brace di legna, bistecche come il bife de chorizo e salsa chimichurri. Oltre alla carne di manzo, le sue caratteristiche distintive sono le empanadas, le cotolette alla milanese, il dulce de leche, i biscotti alfajores e l'erba mate. La forte immigrazione italiana ha reso parte della dieta nazionale anche la pasta, i ñoquis e una caratteristica pizza dalla crosta spessa.

Qual è la differenza tra asado e barbecue americano?▾

L'Asado griglia lentamente la carne su braci di legno duro (non fiamma diretta o camere di fumo), condita solo con sale grosso - senza sfregamenti, senza salsa durante la cottura. È un evento sociale di più ore che si svolge attraverso salsicce, frattaglie e tagli come l'asado de tira. Il barbecue americano affumica la carne con condimenti e salse; L'unico condimento dell'asado, il chimichurri, viene aggiunto a tavola.

Il cibo argentino è piccante?▾

No, è tra le cucine meno piccanti dell'America Latina. Il condimento si basa su sale, aglio, prezzemolo, origano e paprika; il chimichurri ha sapore piccante ed erbaceo ma praticamente senza calore. Anche i ripieni delle empanada utilizzano paprika dolce e cumino anziché peperoncino. Chiunque sia sensibile alle spezie può mangiare comodamente tutto il repertorio argentino.

Quali piatti argentini dovrebbe cucinare per primi un principiante?▾

Chimichurri impiega cinque minuti e trasforma qualsiasi bistecca alla griglia. Le milanesa - cotolette di manzo o pollo impanate e fritte - sono semplici da gustare durante la settimana, spesso condite con pomodoro e formaggio come la milanesa napolitana. Le empanadas di manzo al forno sono un progetto soddisfacente per il fine settimana con dischi di pasta acquistati in negozio (tapas). Alfajores con dulce de leche dessert di copertura senza competenze di pasticceria avanzate.

Cos'è l'erba mate e come si beve?▾

L'erba mate è un infuso contenente caffeina della pianta Ilex paraguariensis, bevuto caldo da una zucca (mate) attraverso una cannuccia metallica filtrata (bombilla). Una persona, il cebador, riempie la zucca con acqua calda – mai bollente, intorno ai 70-80°C – e la fa circolare; ogni bevitore finisce la zucca prima che venga riempita nuovamente. È erboso, amaro e tanto rituale sociale quanto bere.
