Doordat Brazilië vanaf de 15e eeuw bevolkt is geweest door immigranten uit verschillende delen van de wereld is de ook de Braziliaanse keuken eigenlijk zeer gevarieerd. De basis van de Braziliaanse keuken is niet alleen rijst en bonen. Maar eigenlijk meer wat wij in het westen nu pas "Fusion Cooking" noemen.

 

De Braziliaanse keuken is erg goed, hygiënisch, gevarieerd en veelal op natuurlijke wijze gemaakt. De hoofdschotels bestaan veelal uit rijst met bonen (Feijao) en sauzen, veel vlees of vis en bijbehorende saladeschotels.

 

De Braziliaanse keuken, die bekend staat als één van de geraffineerdste van Latijns-Amerika, is zeer nauw verbonden met de Portugese. Van de indianen hielden ze echter wel het gebruik van maniok, cacao, pinda's en zoete aardappelen over. De Afrikaanse inwijkelingen brachten dan weer andere ingrediënten mee, zoals de yamwortel, bananen en palmolie. Het nationale gerecht van Brazilië is ontegensprekelijk feijado, een ragout van vlees met zwarte bonen. Maar het land is zo uitgestrekt dat de voorkeuren regionaal erg kunnen verschillen. In het binnenland zijn de churrasco's immens populair. Langs de kust worden meer vis en garnalen schotels gegeten. In het zuiden de vlees grill's (Churrasco). In Minas wordt het echte gezonde eten van het platteland nog veel klaargemaakt op houtovens, wat een bijzondere extra lekkere smaak aan het eten geeft.

The cuisine of Brazil, like Brazil itself, varies greatly by region. This diversity reflects the country's mix of native Amerindians, Portuguese, Africans, Italians, Spaniards, Germans, Poles, Syrians, Lebanese and Japanese among others. This has created a national cooking style marked by the preservation of regional differences.

 

 

Brazil's main cuisine regions:

North

Acre, Amazonas, Amapá, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima, and Tocantins

The cuisine of this region is heavily influenced by indigenous cuisine. One of the popular dishes is Picadinho de Jacaré (a meal made from alligator meat). Popular ingredients include turtle meat, Tacacá and Açaí. Rice

Northeast

Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, and Sergipe

Geographically the region comprises a narrow, fertile coastal plain with abundant rainfall where much of the population is found, an equally narrow transition zone called the Agreste, and a large semi-arid region called the Sertão, which is dominated by large cattle ranches. All kinds of tropical produce are grown on the coastal plain, with sugarcane and cacao being particularly abundant.

Within the state of Bahia the predominant cuisine is Afro-Bahian, which evolved from plantation cooks improvising on African, Indian, and traditional Portuguese dishes using locally available ingredients.

Typical dishes include vatapá, moqueca (both having seafood and palm oil), and acarajé (a salted muffin made with white beans, onion and fried in palm oil (dendê) which is filled with dried shrimp, red pepper and caruru (mashed okra with ground cashew nut, smoked shrimp, onion, pepper and garlic). The main staple is a plate of white rice and black beans but other common foods include farofa, paçoca, canjica, pamonha and quibebe.

In the remainder of the coastal plains there is less African influence on the food, but seafood, shellfish, Coconut and tropical fruit are menu staples. Commonly eaten tropical fruits in the North-eastern region include mango, papaya, guava, orange, passionfruit, pineapple, sweetsop, "hog-plum", Soursop, and cashew (both the fruit and the nut).

Inland, in the arid, drought stricken cattle-growing and farm lands, foods typically include ingredients like (sun) dried meat, rice, beans, goat, manioc and corn meal. A popular dish is called Caruru do Par. They use every part of the bull.

Southeast

Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo

The Southeastern region is the industrial heart of Brazil, and is home to several distinctive cooking styles for which Brazil is probably best-known.

In Minas Gerais the regional dishes include maize, pork, beans, chicken (including the very typical dish frango com quiabo, or "chicken with okra") and local soft ripened traditional cheeses. In Rio, feijoada (a black bean and meat stew rooted in the ingenuity of African slaves working in the plantations of colonial Brazil), is popular especially as a Wednesday or Saturday lunch. Also consumed frequently is feijão com arroz, or rice and beans. Traditionally, black beans are prepared in Rio, rajadinho or carioquinha (brown) beans in São Paulo, and either in Minas Gerais. Another typical food in São Paulo is the Virado à Paulista, that consists of rice, tutu de feijão (a paste of beans and manioc flour), sautéed collard greens (couve) and pork chops, typically bisteca, the pork equivalent of the T-bone steak. It is usually accompanied by pork rinds, bits of sausage, a fried egg and a fried banana.

The cuisine of São Paulo shows the influence of European and Middle Eastern immigrants. The majority of immigrants in São Paulo arrived from Italy, along with many from Portugal, Japan, the Middle East, Spain, and other nations. Hence, it is possible to find a wide array of cuisines. In the city of São Paulo, pizza is a popular dish, and sushi has entered the mainstream and can be found in regular, non-Japanese restaurants.

In Espírito Santo, there is significant Italian and German influence in local dishes both savory and sweet. The state dish, though, is of Amerindian origin, and is called Moqueca Capixaba (a tomato and fish stew prepared in a clay pot). The cuisine of Minas Gerais is also strongly influential there, with many restaurants serving that fare. Farofa (a dish of toasted manioc flour with small amounts of flavoring ingredients such as pork, onions, hard boiled eggs or different vegetables), polenta, couve (collard greens), chouriço (a type of sausage that is less spicy than its cousin chorizo), tutu à mineira (a paste of beans and manioc flour) and fried bananas are examples of popular dishes from Minas Gerais.

South

Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul

The gaucho (cowboy of the pampa) contributed to the national cuisine with dishes made with sun- or salt-dried meats and churrasco (a Brazilian counterpart of the barbecue), a meal of grilled meats in over-sized skewers.

The traditional food from the state of Paraná is the barreado, boiled meat, made in ceramic pans, often put under the soil to boil with the sunheat. And is called comida

The European immigrants (primarily from Germany, Italy, Poland and Portugal) were accustomed to a wheat-based diet, and introduced wine, leaf vegetables, and dairy products into Brazilian cuisine. When potatoes were not available they discovered how to use the native sweet manioc as a replacement.

Other dishes

Rice and beans is an extremely popular dish, considered basic at table; a tradition Brazil shares with several Caribbean nations.

Salgadinhos are small savory snacks, mostly sold in corner shops and a staple at working class and lower middle-class familiar celebrations. There are many types of filled and fried pastries:

Pão de Queijo (literally "cheese bread"), a typical Brazilian snack, is a small, soft roll made of manioc flour and cheese.

Coxinha is a chicken croquette shaped like a chicken thigh.

Kibe (or quibe): extremely popular, it corresponds to the Syrian dish kibbeh and was brought to mainstream Brazilian culture by Syrian and Lebanese immigrants.

Sfiha: Despite being a more recent addition to Brazilian cuisine they are nowadays easily found everywhere, specially in southern and southeastern regions.

Pastéis are small half-moon shaped pastries with a wide variety of fillings (sometimes also shaped big and in a squared form). Similar to Spanish fried empanadillas, but of Japanese origin (and brought to Brazil by the Japanese diaspora).

Empada are snacks that resenble pot pies in a small scale. Filled with a mix of palm hearts,peas, flour and chicken or shrimp.

Cuscuz branco is milled tapioca cooked with coconut milk and sugar. The technique is identical to how couscous is cooked in hot water, but this is a dessert.

Açaí, Cupuaçu, and many other tropical fruits are shipped from the Amazon all over the country and consumed in smoothies.

Cheeses: the dairy-producing state of Minas Gerais is known for such cheeses as queijo Minas, a soft, mild-flavored fresh white cheese usually sold packaged in water; requeijão, a mildly salty, silky-textured, spreadable cheese sold in glass jars and eaten on bread, and Catupiry, a soft processed cheese sold in a distinctive round wooden box.

Pinhão is the pine nut of the Araucaria angustifolia, a common tree of the highlands of southern Brazil. The nuts are boiled and eaten as a snack in the winter months. It is typically eaten during the festas juninas.

Also noteworthy are:

Cachaça is the Brazil's native liquor, distilled from sugar cane, and it is the main ingredient in the national drink, the Caipirinha.

Special ethnic foods and restaurants that are frequently found in Brazil include Lebanese, Syrian, and Japanese cuisine (Sushi).

Pizza is also extremely popular. It is usually made in a wood-fire oven with a thin, flexible crust, very little sauce, and a number of interesting toppings. In addition to the "traditional" Italian pizza toppings, items like guava jam and cheese, banana and cinnamon, catupiry and chicken, and chocolate are available. Many Brazilians from the northern states enjoy putting ketchup on pizza, and even mayonnaise and mustard may be added. Although, in the state of São Paulo and the southern states where Italian influence is strong, this practice is considered "almost insulting" or "culturally demeaning." Some regions also drizzle olive oil onto pizzas.

Broa, corn bread with fennel.

Brazil __ "Brazilian cooking history is in every bite of the country's food. Native Indians developed corn porridge, cassava meal, sweet potatoes, many roots, hearts of palm, many species of game and fish, and the preservation of meats by smoking and drying. In 1533, the Portuguese colonized Brazil. After a lengthy Moorish occupation, Portugal had adapted a variety of North African cooking traditions, among them coffee, dried fruits and pastries. These culinary customs were in turn exported to Brazil, with the twist of being prepared using local ingredients." - Articles and recipes. - From Global Gourmet -

La cuisine brésilienne est le fruit d'un mélange d'ingrédients européens, indigènes et africains. Plusieurs des techniques de préparation sont d'origine indigène, ayant souffert des adaptations de la part des esclaves et des portugais. Les esclaves faisaient leurs propres plats en remplaçants les ingrédients qui leurs manquaient par des ingrédients locaux. La feijoada, le plat tipique du pays, est un bon exemple.

Les boissons alcoolisées ont été apportées par les portugais comme la cachaça fabriquée au Brésil même.

Durant la période coloniale, les portugais ont mélangé les ingrédients des natifs d'Afrique, d'Asie et d'Amérique pour survivre sur ces terres étrangères, mais aussi par curiosité. Au Brésil, la production des aliments étaient limitée car l'économie étais réservée à l'exportation. La cuisine coloniale constitue la base culinaire du pays.

Au nord, les habitants dépendaient plus des connaissances indigènes pour survivre et pour la cueillette, c'est pour cela que leur alimentation incluait des plats et des ingrédients exotiques. comme la chaire de poisson, la viande de jaguar, de tortues et de leurs oeufs, et principalment des fruits.

Comme le terrain littoral n'était pas adequat pour cultiver la canne à sucre, l'économie se tourna vers l'intèrieur du pays pour chercher de l'or, des pierres précieuses.

L'histoire elle-même influença la cuisine de chaque région.

 

 

Die Brasilianische Küche ist die Landesküche Brasiliens, sowohl nach Einwohnerzahl als auch nach Fläche das fünftgrößte Land der Erde. Als einziges Land mit zusammenhängendem Staatsgebiet umfasst es von Nord nach Süd vier aufeinanderfolgende Klimazonen. Die Bevölkerung besteht größtenteils aus Einwanderern und deren Nachfahren aus Europa, Afrika und Asien.

Von daher wird einsichtig, dass es schwierig ist, eine Brasilianische Küche zu definieren, da eine Vielzahl verschiedener Völker und Kulturen eine eigene Küche mitbringen. Auch wurden die traditionellen Küchen stark durch Einwanderer beeinflusst, vor allem aus Europa - hier besonders aus der Kolonialmacht Portugal - und aus Afrika.

Regionalküchen

Küche des Nordens

Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima, Tocantins

Der Norden und der Westen Brasiliens sind dünn besiedelt und umfassen sowohl Steppen- als auch Urwaldgebiete. Daher stellt sich die Frage, ob jenseits von lokalen Ausprägungen und jenseits der Großstädte Manaus und Belém eine gemeinsame Küche zu identifizieren ist. Es wird aber gesagt, dass der Norden stark von der indianischen Küche geprägt sei, aber auch indische Einflüsse seien erkennbar. Fisch ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Ernährung.

Wichtige Gerichte sind:

  • Carurú: Krabben werden sautiert mit einer scharfen Soße aus rotem Pfeffer, Okra, Zwiebeln, Tomaten, Chili und Palmöl serviert
  • Tacacá: Eine Brühe aus dem Saft der Maniok-Wurzel mit Krabben und Jambú

Küche des Nordostens

Alagoas, Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, Sergipe

Der Nordosten ist von trockenen Gebieten geprägt. Die Gerichte sind stark von afrikanischen und kreolischen Einflüssen geprägt. In Meeresnähe basieren die Rezepte mehr auf Fisch und anderen Meerestieren, während man im Inland mehr Reis, Bohnen, getrocknetes Fleisch, Maniok und Ähnliches isst.

Küche Bahias

Zwar geografisch zum Nordosten gehörend, nimmt die Bahianische Küche dennoch einen besonderen Rang ein durch ihre Vielfalt und phantasievollen Variationen. Sie unterscheidet sich in Brasilien am weitesten von der kolonial-portugiesisch geprägten Küche der anderen Regionen, sie ist gewissermaßen die brasilianischste Küche. Dies ist zum einen durch stärkere afrikanische Einflüsse (gegenüber den kreolischen des Nordostens) und zum anderen durch reicheres Angebot an Früchten, Fleisch und Fischen bedingt.

Besonders bekannte Gerichte sind:

Vatapá: Aus den zerkleinerten, zerstampften und angebratenen Zutaten Weißbrot, Zwiebeln, Krabben, Cashewkerne, Erdnüsse, Kokosmilch, Palmöl, Koriander sowie zahlreichen weiteren Gewürzen wird eine teigartige Paste gekocht, die zusammen mit scharfer Soße Molho de Pimenta verzehrt wird. Diese Spezialität afrikanischer Herkunft wird in Bahia häufig an Straßenständen zubereitet und zum Acarajé als Imbiss auf die Hand verkauft.

Acarajé ist ein typisches Gericht der afro-brasilianischen Küche: Es handelt sich um in Dendê-Öl ausgebackene, krokettenartige Bällchen aus gemahlenen Bohnen mit Gewürzen. Das Gericht wurde in der Kolonialzeit von afrikanischen Sklaven mit nach Brasilien gebracht. Acarajé wird an Straßenständen zubereitet und als Snack zum Mitnehmen verkauft: Dazu werden die Küchlein aufgeschnitten, mit Vatapá, Krabben und scharfer Pfeffersauce gefüllt und in Packpapier verkauft.

Moqueca: ein Eintopf mit Fisch und/oder Krebsen. Mit den zahlreichen Variationen der Moqueca wurde der portugiesische Fischeintopf Peixada durch afrikanische Rezeptur, brasilianische Zutaten wie Palmöl und Kokosnuss sowie auch importierte Früchte wie die indische Kassava zum brasilianischen Fischtopf umgeformt.

Küche des Mittelwestens

Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Distrito Federal

Wichtige Gerichte sind:

Galinhada com Pequi: ein Huhn-Gericht mit Pequi (eine typische Palmfrucht von der Cerrado-Region in Goiás)

Linguiça Caseira Frita: eine Schweine-Bratwurst-Art

Mojica: Filets vom Fisch (oft der Pintado-Fisch) werden mit Zwiebeln, Tomaten und Maniok gekocht und mit Koriander abgeschmeckt

Pequi com Arroz: Pequi mit Reis

Küche des Südostens

Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo

Aus dem Südosten des Landes kommen die bekanntesten brasilianischen Rezepte. Gerade Bohnen sind in der Region sehr beliebt. Während in Rio de Janeiro die schwarze Bohne sehr beliebt ist, bevorzugt man in São Paulo die rote und die weiße Bohne. In Minas Gerais hingegen ist die schwarze und die rote Bohne am verbreitetsten.

Wichtige Gerichte sind:

Feijoada: ein Bohneneintopf mit verschiedenen Fleischarten

Cuzcuz: süßer Pudding mit Tapioka oder Maismehl oder ein Gericht ähnlich dem Kuskus

Pão de queijo: Brandteiggebäck aus Polvilho (Stärke).

Küche des Südens

Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul

Im Süden des Landes ist der Einfluss der Europäer sehr stark, so dass man keine Probleme haben sollte, auch typische Gerichte aus Ländern wie Deutschland, den Niederlanden, Frankreich, Italien etc. zu finden. Die Europäer brachten auch den Wein in die Region. Da die Viehwirtschaft hier besonders ausgeprägt ist, sind Fleischgerichte sehr verbreitet, auch mit getrocknetem oder gepökeltem Fleisch.
