Brazilian Cuisine

It began as most ‘ethnic food movements’ do – with small restaurants in the neighborhoods where immigrants settled, diners and lunchrooms and tea rooms opened by those who wanted to offer a taste of home to their fellow émigrés. Chinese, Italian, Middle Eastern, Thai – from family run bistros, the cuisine spread as those outside the cultures of the ‘neighborhood’ learned of the good food and the word spread. The latest ‘new cuisine’ that is spreading like wildfire is Brazilian – a delicious blending of three separate cultures that comes together in dishes and delicacies that aren’t found anywhere else in the world.

To understand the cuisine of Brazil, one must understand a little of its history. The base of Brazilian cuisine is in its native roots – the foods that sustained the native Brazilians – cassava, yams, fish and meat – but it bears the stamp of two other peoples as well: the Portuguese who came to conquer and stayed, and the African slaves that they brought with them to work the sugar plantations. Brazilian cuisine today is a seamless amalgam of the three influences that interweave in a unique and totally Brazilian style.

The staples of the Brazilian diet are root vegetables, seafood and meat. Manioc, derived from cassava root, is the ‘flour’ of the region, and is eaten in one form or another at nearly every meal. The bitter cassava root is poisonous in its raw state, but when prepared properly, the cassava root yields farinha and tapioca, bases for many dishes of the region. The Portuguese influence shows in the rich, sweet egg breads that are served at nearly every meal, and in the seafood dishes that blend ‘fruits de mer’ with coconut and other native fruits and vegetables. The national dish, bobo de camarao is one of these, a delicious mingling of fresh shrimp in a puree of dried shrimp, manioc (cassava) meal, coconut milk and nuts, flavored with a palm oil called dende.

It is the African influence that is most felt, though – as is to be expected of the people who worked in the kitchens. Pineapple and coconut milk, shredded coconut and palm hearts worked their way into everyday dishes, flavoring meat, shrimp, fish, vegetables and bread. Brazilian food, unlike the cuisines of many of the surrounding countries, favors the sweet rather than the hot, and more than any other South American cuisine, it carries the savor of tropical island breezes rather than the hot wind of the desert.

The most common ingredients in Brazilian cuisine are cassava, coconut, dende, black beans and rice. Bacalao – salt cod – features in many dishes derived from the Portuguese, but flavored with typical Brazilian insouciance with coconut cream and pistachio nuts it becomes an entirely different food. It is typical of the Brazilian attitude toward food – an expression of a warm and open people to whom feeding and sharing food is the basis of hospitality. Brazilian cuisine is like its people – all are welcome, all are welcomed and all make their mark – without ever overwhelming the contributions of the other.

One of the most popular delicacies in the La Manga region is a fish, served whole (usually local fish called mujol or dorada). The fish is cooked in a cover (or “jacket”) of salt, resulting in a delicate, moist finished product. Lobster, oysters and a variety of different shellfish are caught daily by the fisherman in nearby Cabo de Palos. These succulent treats are available in many of the restaurants in La Manga too.
You can dine on many local delicacies in La Manga. Space is too limited in one article to accurately convey the spectrum of choice, but do try them all.

You’ll have a full, happy belly before you know it.

Even if you aren’t an adventurous eater and prefer to stick with what you know when you travel, the La Manga area has something to suit you as well. With the proliferation of ethic restaurants available in the area, everyone’s tastes can be met. You’ll find everything from pizza to burgers to spring rolls in this melting pot region of Spain. Whatever it is your taste buds desire, it’s what’s on in La Manga.

If you are looking for traditional Moroccan cuisine look no further, in this article we will try to reveal the mystery behind this fabulous gastronomic tradition.; its history and the reason for its popularity the world over.

The history of traditional Moroccan cuisine started several decades ago in ancient imperial cities in the camps of the Bedouins. It is based on the staple arab diet of couscous, meats, nuts and dry fruits. To this was added a touch of Spain through the Muslim refugees who fled Andalusia and in came the flavors of apices, the love of pastries and sleds from France, fresh fish and all of this turned traditional Moroccan food into a gastronomic legacy.

What goes into the makings of a traditional Moroccan meal?

Couscous of course, the sweet and sour tagines, the refreshing mint tea and the heady fragrance of the spices that lingers in every nook and corner of the country as the aroma of an evening dinner wafts through the open windows. The spices are the hall of a Moroccan meal and regardless of where you grab the bite in a palatial mansion or a humble family home, the spices and the favors is what connects the people of this country. All you have to do is head over to the Djema el Fna square to experience the culinary delights of Morocco. It is not unusual to find the local sipping on their Harira soup or munching on chick peas and of course there is no dearth of tourists in this place all waiting to try out the fames tagines or chicken or the ever delicious egg pie.

The Spices that the Moroccans Love

Walk into one of the food markets of Morocco and its almost like the spices are beckoning you to try out their enticing aromas and enthralling flavors. You will see mounds of spices in all colors and flavors on display in most shops. These spices are usually neatly arranges in pyramids spilling out of a bucket or tin. Even though all of these spices are an integral part of the cuisine, some of these are not home grown but are rather imported from the East while others like cumin, saffron and coriander are grown locally in the fertile Berber valley.

Even though each one of these spices has its own distinctive flavor and aroma, they blend beautifully in Moroccan cuisine one of the reasons for this is the sparing use of spices. Moroccans don’t believe in overdoing the flavors they have to be just perfect and well balanced, nothing should stand out. The spices are used to bring out the flavors of the meat and the vegetables and fruits or to add an extra zing to a dessert. Some of the local favorites are saffron, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and turmeric. But if you are not particularly good at blending spices you should consider going for the tops of the line ras el hanout which is the perfect combination of over 20 spices and this mega spice is guaranteed to spruce up any dish.

But don’t expect the local cooks to use ras el hanout because in this country blending spices is an art form and a chefs culinary education simply can’t be complete without acquiring it.

The Tagines and the Couscous:

Couscous is one of the most popular Moroccan dishes it originated from the Berber valley and is made of semolina wheat grains served with a topping of vegetables and meat or fish. A signs of a good couscous should be the fluffy semolina grains and the trick to achieving this lies in proper steaming. There are more than 20 variations of couscous among them the most popular versions are couscous with the seven vegetables, couscous or sefa etc. the recipe with seven vegetables is perfect for all you health and fitness enthusiasts out there because it has turnips, tomatoes, onions, pumpkin, carrots, pepper and courgettes.
