Informazioni sulle ricette danesi

La cucina danese si basa sul pane di segale, sul maiale, sui latticini e sul mare. Il suo emblema è lo smørrebrød: denso lievito di segale (rugbrød) imburrato e incorporato in panini aperti con condimenti codificati: aringhe in salamoia con cipolla e capperi, filetto di pesce fritto con remoulade, arrosto di maiale con cavolo rosso o lo "stjerneskud" con gamberetti. I classici piatti caldi seguono la stessa sostanziosa logica: frikadeller (polpette di maiale in padella), stegt flæsk med persillesovs (pancetta di maiale croccante con salsa al prezzemolo, piatto ufficiale nazionale) e flæskesteg arrosto di maiale con ciccioli.

Le tradizioni lattiero-casearie e della panificazione della Danimarca sono profonde. Burro e panna completano allo stesso modo salse e pasticcini; la pasticceria "danese" è chiamata localmente wienerbrød - pane viennese - perché i fornai austriaci portarono le tecniche di laminazione durante uno sciopero dei fornai del 1850, dopo di che i danesi le perfezionarono con più burro e ripieno di remonce. A Natale arrivano il flæskesteg, l'anatra con mele e prugne, patate caramellate e la risalamande, il budino di riso alle mandorle con salsa di ciliegie e un gioco di mandorle intere nascoste.

Dall’inizio degli anni 2000, la Danimarca è stata anche il motore della Nuova cucina nordica. Il manifesto del 2004, scritto in collaborazione da Claus Meyer e René Redzepi del Noma, ha ricentrato la cucina sul terroir nordico – olivello spinoso, aglio orsino, erbe aromatiche, fermentazione e cereali antichi – e ha rimodellato ristoranti in tutto il mondo. A casa, il ritmo quotidiano rimane umile: pranzi di pane di segale confezionati per la scuola e il lavoro, cene comuni guidate dall’hygge e una forte cultura del caffè e della pasticceria.

Smørrebrød

Pane di segale imburrato con condimenti codificati – aringhe, passera fritta con remoulade, maiale arrosto – mangiato con coltello e forchetta, mai con le mani.

Rugbrød (pane di segale)

La segale densa e a lievitazione naturale è l'alimento base quotidiano, confezionata nei contenitori per il pranzo a livello nazionale e costituisce la base strutturale dello smørrebrød.

Maiale & Frikadeller

La tradizione dell'allevamento di suini danese si manifesta nelle polpette frikadeller, nel flæskesteg con ciccioli e nel piatto nazionale, pancetta di maiale croccante con salsa al prezzemolo.

Aringhe in salamoia

Il sild stagionato in aceto, crema al curry o marinate allo sherry apre ogni tavola da pranzo danese, soprattutto a Natale e Pasqua.

Wienerbrød e cottura al burro

I dolci "danesi" laminati con remonce, oltre al kanelsnegle e alla torta da sogno (drømmekage), definiscono la leggendaria cultura della panificazione.

Nuovo pensiero nordico

Il manifesto dell’era Noma ha spinto la raccolta, la fermentazione e il terroir nordico nella cucina raffinata globale e di nuovo nelle abitudini domestiche danesi.

Domande frequenti sulle ricette danesi

Per cosa è noto il cibo danese?▾

Panini di segale aperti Smørrebrød, pasticcini danesi (wienerbrød), polpette frikadeller, arrosto di maiale croccante con ciccioli, aringhe in salamoia e hot dog dai carretti stradali di pølsevogn. La Danimarca è anche la culla della Nuova cucina nordica – il movimento di ricerca e fermentazione lanciato attorno al Noma di Copenaghen – e della cultura del pasto accogliente riassunta da hygge.

Qual è la differenza tra il cibo danese e quello svedese?▾

Si sovrappongono pesantemente - aringhe, segale, maiale, frutti di bosco - ma la Danimarca ha fatto del panino aperto (smørrebrød) il suo pezzo forte, mentre la Svezia ha formalizzato il buffet smörgåsbord e il piatto di polpette e mirtilli rossi. La cucina danese si basa maggiormente sul burro, sui ciccioli di maiale e sulla pasta laminata; La Svezia propone mirtilli rossi, pesce all'aneto e zuppa di piselli del giovedì. Il rugbrød danese è più scuro e denso della maggior parte del pane svedese.

Perché si chiama pasticceria danese?▾

In Danimarca si chiama wienerbrød — "pane viennese" — perché i fornai austriaci introdussero a Copenaghen la pasta lievitata laminata durante uno sciopero dei fornai danesi negli anni '50 dell'Ottocento. I panettieri danesi hanno poi arricchito la tecnica con più burro e remonce (un ripieno cremoso di burro e zucchero), creando spandauer, kanelsnegle e i pasticcini che il resto del mondo ora chiama semplicemente "danesi".

Quale piatto danese dovrebbe cucinare per primo un principiante?▾

Frikadeller: mescolare la carne di maiale macinata (o di maiale e vitello) con cipolla grattugiata, uovo, farina o avena e latte, quindi friggere a cucchiaiate nel burro fino a doratura. Servire con patate bollite, salsa marrone o cavolo bianco in umido e cavolo rosso sott'aceto. Smørrebrød è l'altro piatto facile: buon pane di segale, burro e un accurato assemblaggio delle guarnizioni sono l'intero mestiere.

Cos'è la tradizionale cena di Natale danese?▾

Anatra arrosto con mele e prugne e/o flæskesteg (arrosto di maiale con ciccioli), patate bollite più brunede kartofler (patate caramellate nel burro e zucchero), cavolo rosso e salsa marrone densa. Il dessert è la risalamande - budino di riso freddo ripiegato con panna montata e mandorle tritate, servito con salsa calda di ciliegie - dove trovare la singola mandorla intera vince un maialino di marzapane.
