Valencian Chicken & Chorizo Paella
The socarrat is the whole point: saffron-perfumed rice with chicken and chorizo, cooked in the iconic wide Spanish pan until a golden, crackling crust forms at the base.
海鲜饭、小吃、西班牙凉菜汤——来自伊比利亚阳光普照的厨房。
西班牙美食受到了八个世纪的摩尔人影响——杏仁、藏红花、柑橘和大米随安达卢斯传入——叠加在罗马橄榄油文化之上,以及 1492 年之后来自美洲的食材:西红柿、辣椒和土豆,这些如今构成了西班牙凉菜汤和西班牙玉米饼等菜肴的特色。猪是中心;马坦萨(每年屠宰)传统生产伊比利亚火腿、香肠和羊肠,这些腌肉是国家食品储藏室的主力产品。
西班牙的区域性很强。巴伦西亚有西班牙海鲜饭,它是用邦巴米、兔肉、鸡肉和蜗牛在明火上烹制而成的,而不是游客所期望的海鲜混合菜。巴斯克地区拥有西班牙装饰最精美的餐厅和 pintxo 酒吧传统;加利西亚专产章鱼(pulpo a la gallega)和贝类;安达卢西亚出产炸鱼、西班牙凉菜汤和萨尔莫霍酒;加泰罗尼亚贡献了 pa amb tomàquet 和 romesco 酱。
家庭烹饪以索菲托(sofrito)为中心——洋葱、大蒜和番茄慢慢地加入橄榄油中,这是大多数炖菜和米饭的开始。西班牙人吃饭很晚,而且社交性强:下午 2 点左右的午餐是主餐,西班牙小吃文化将晚餐变成了一系列共享的小盘。像 lentejas con chorizo 和玉米饼这样的日常菜肴需要耐心而不是技术,大量使用橄榄油作为脂肪和风味。
索弗里托
洋葱、大蒜和番茄在橄榄油中慢慢煮熟,形成海鲜饭、炖菜和无数西班牙家常菜的风味基础。
火腿和腌肉
伊贝里科火腿、塞拉诺火腿、香肠和洛莫代表了小吃和日常烹饪的核心腌制传统。
米饭菜肴
除了瓦伦西亚海鲜饭之外,西班牙还用鱿鱼墨汁烹制阿罗兹内格罗、阿罗兹阿尔霍诺和肉汤阿罗兹卡尔多索,全部使用短粒邦巴米。
橄榄油
西班牙是世界上最大的橄榄油生产国;它可用于油炸、精加工、乳化蒜泥蛋黄,甚至用于甜点。
皮门东
拉维拉 (La Vera) 的烟熏辣椒粉有甜味、苦乐参半和辣味三种等级,可制成香肠、加勒加果肉,并炖出其标志性的颜色和烟雾。
小吃和 pintxos
小盘菜——从 patatas bravas 到 gambas al ajillo——构成了西班牙的社交饮食,巴斯克 pintxos 串在面包上。

西班牙美食以海鲜饭、小吃、伊比利亚火腿、西班牙凉菜汤和西班牙玉米饼而闻名,所有这些都以橄榄油、大蒜和烟熏辣椒粉为基础。它是由当地传统——瓦伦西亚米饭、巴斯克pintxos、加利西亚海鲜、安达卢西亚炸鱼——以及一种社交饮食风格所定义的,在这种饮食风格中,小份共享的盘子和较晚的进餐时间与食物本身一样重要。
一般不会。西班牙烹饪味道鲜美但温和;热是例外,而不是规则。 Pimentón picante(热熏辣椒粉)和 guindilla 辣椒出现在特定菜肴中,如 patatas bravas 酱和 pimientos de Padrón(只有部分辣椒是辣的),但大多数菜肴都依靠大蒜、橄榄油、藏红花和烟熏来调味。西班牙美食经常与辛辣的墨西哥美食混淆。
它们是不同的美食,只是语言相同。西班牙食物是地中海式的:橄榄油、海鲜、腌猪肉、米饭以及藏红花和烟熏辣椒粉等温和的调味料。墨西哥食物以玉米(玉米饼、湿润粉糊)、豆类、新鲜和干辣椒以及前哥伦布时期的原料为基础。西班牙烹饪很少使用辣椒来加热、香菜或玉米饼——墨西哥厨房的主食。
西班牙玉米饼教会我们对鸡蛋、土豆、洋葱和橄榄油的耐心。 Gambas al ajillo 需要十分钟。番茄酱只需要面包、熟番茄、大蒜和油。西班牙凉菜汤是一种无需烹饪的搅拌菜。一旦感觉舒服了,可以先尝尝简单的鸡肉和香肠米饭,然后再尝试真正的西班牙海鲜饭,这需要socarrat——珍贵的脆皮底层。
小吃是西班牙各地供应的小菜,从菜单上订购并在餐桌上分享——土豆泥、炸丸子、玉米饼。 Pintxos 是巴斯克地区的版本:一口大小的部分通常用牙签串在面包上,展示在吧台上,然后站着吃。在 pintxo 酒吧,您通常会在最后数一下牙签来付款。
