Smørrebrød, æbleskiver, flæskesteg – cozinha nórdica elegante e saudável.
A culinária dinamarquesa baseia-se no pão de centeio, na carne de porco, nos laticínios e no mar. Seu emblema é smørrebrød: centeio denso (rugbrød) amanteigado e incorporado em sanduíches abertos com coberturas codificadas - arenque em conserva com cebola e alcaparras, filé de peixe frito com remoulade, porco assado com repolho roxo ou o 'stjerneskud' empilhado com camarão. Os pratos quentes clássicos seguem a mesma lógica: frikadeller (almôndegas de porco fritas), stegt flæsk med persillesovs (barriga de porco crocante com molho de salsa, prato oficial nacional) e flæskesteg porco assado com torresmo.
As tradições de laticínios e panificação da Dinamarca são profundas. Manteiga e creme finalizam molhos e doces; a pastelaria 'dinamarquesa' é chamada localmente de wienerbrød - pão de Viena - porque os padeiros austríacos trouxeram técnicas de laminação durante uma greve dos padeiros na década de 1850, após a qual os dinamarqueses os aperfeiçoaram com mais manteiga e recheio remonce. O Natal traz flæskesteg, pato com maçãs e ameixas secas, batatas caramelizadas e risalamande, arroz doce de amêndoa com molho de cereja e caça de amêndoas inteiras escondidas.
Desde o início dos anos 2000, a Dinamarca também tem sido o motor da nova cozinha nórdica. O manifesto de 2004, de coautoria de Claus Meyer e René Redzepi, da Noma, centrou novamente a culinária no terroir nórdico – espinheiro marinho forrageado, ramsons, ervas de praia, fermentação e grãos tradicionais – e remodelou restaurantes em todo o mundo. Em casa, o ritmo diário permanece humilde: almoços com pão de centeio embalados para a escola e para o trabalho, jantares comunitários voltados para a higiene e uma forte cultura de café e pastelaria.

Sanduíches de centeio abertos Smørrebrød, doces dinamarqueses (wienerbrød), almôndegas frikadeller, porco assado crocante com torresmo, arenque em conserva e cachorros-quentes em carrinhos de rua pølsevogn. A Dinamarca é também o berço da nova cozinha nórdica – o movimento de recolha e fermentação lançado em torno de Noma, em Copenhaga – e da cultura da refeição acolhedora resumida pela higiene.
Eles se sobrepõem fortemente – arenque, centeio, carne de porco, frutas vermelhas – mas a Dinamarca fez do sanduíche aberto (smørrebrød) sua peça central, enquanto a Suécia formalizou o bufê de smörgåsbord e o prato de almôndegas e mirtilos. A comida dinamarquesa se baseia mais em manteiga, torresmo de porco e massa laminada; Suécia com mirtilos, peixe curado com endro e sopa de ervilha às quintas-feiras. O rugbrød dinamarquês é mais escuro e denso do que a maioria dos pães suecos.
Na Dinamarca, é chamado de wienerbrød – “pão de Viena” – porque os padeiros austríacos introduziram massa fermentada laminada em Copenhague durante uma greve dos padeiros dinamarqueses na década de 1850. Os padeiros dinamarqueses enriqueceram então a técnica com mais manteiga e remonce (um recheio cremoso de manteiga e açúcar), criando spandauer, kanelsnegle e os doces que o resto do mundo agora chama simplesmente de “dinamarquês”.
Frikadeller: misture a carne de porco moída (ou porco e vitela) com cebola ralada, ovo, farinha ou aveia e leite e frite às colheradas na manteiga até dourar. Sirva com batatas cozidas, molho marrom ou repolho branco cozido e repolho roxo em conserva. Smørrebrød é a outra entrada fácil – bom pão de centeio, manteiga e montagem cuidadosa da cobertura são tudo.
Pato assado com maçã e ameixa e/ou flæskesteg (porco assado com torresmo), batata cozida mais brunede kartofler (batata caramelizada em manteiga e açúcar), repolho roxo e molho marrom espesso. A sobremesa é risalamande – arroz doce frio dobrado com chantilly e amêndoas picadas, servido com molho de cereja quente – onde encontrar a amêndoa inteira ganha um leitão de maçapão.
