[10 Temperos que voc\u00ea vai encontrar em uma cozinha brasileira] Ol\u00e1, pessoal! Hello, everyone! Como voc\u00eas t\u00eam passado? How is it going for you? Much of the gastronomic culture and uniqueness of a place is generally the outcome of the variety of <\/span>temperos<\/span><\/i> (spices) and also the way they are used during the preparation. For example, <\/span>o feij\u00e3o<\/span><\/i> (beans) prepared in Mexico or <\/span>o arroz<\/span><\/i> (rice) from India taste drastically different from the Brazilian ones, which is largely due to how we season it. To better understand <\/span>o sabor <\/span><\/i>(the taste) of our <\/span>comida<\/span><\/i> (food), we have made a list with 10 essential spices that you will find in all Brazilian <\/span>lares <\/span><\/i>(households). Ready to open the spice cabinet?<\/span><\/p>\n

ALHO | <\/b>GARLIC<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

From the staple rice and beans, to various <\/span>molhos <\/span><\/i>(sauces), soups, creams and <\/span>caldos<\/span><\/i> (broths), garlic is an ingredient that has multiple purposes in gastronomy in general and yet is a basic and indispensable ingredient anywhere in Brazil. No <\/span>prato salgado<\/span> (savory dish) escapes at least a touch of this tasty and aromatic product!<\/span><\/p>\n

CEBOLA | <\/b>ONION<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Much like garlic, onions are a pervasive element in Brazilian cuisine, and together they lay the foundation that adds a sharp flavor to any saut\u00e9. Just try any dish in Brazil to feel how this powerful duo is ever-present (and always in large quantities!).<\/span><\/p>\n

PIMENTA | CHILLI<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n

The many varieties throughout the national territory mean that the chillies used in our kitchens also differ. The most common, however, are the <\/span>pimenta do reino<\/span><\/i> (black pepper) and the<\/span> malagueta<\/span><\/i> (red and spice one). It is worth noting that, although Brazilian cuisine is not typically known for being <\/span>apimentada <\/span><\/i>(spicy), you can find a pepper sauce container (homemade or industrialized) sitting at the counter or table of nearly every restaurant or snack bar you go so you can add it to your taste.<\/span><\/p>\n

ERVAS FRESCAS| FRESH HERBS<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n

Among the countless fresh herbs used in our cuisine, three stand out: <\/span>salsinha, cebolinha e coentro<\/span><\/i> (<\/span>parsley, chives and cilantro). The first two make up what Brazilians like to call <\/span>cheiro-verde<\/span><\/i> (literally translated as <\/span>green-scent), a very widespread and versatile seasoning that is added to salads, stews, meat, <\/span>farofas<\/span><\/i> and many other dishes. Cilantro, in turn, is far more common in Northeastern cuisine and used less frequently in other regions of the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

A\u00c7AFR\u00c3O-DA-TERRA (C\u00daRCUMA) | TURMERIC<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n

It is important not to mistake this spice with the regular saffron from the flower, which has a high market value and we rarely get to use it! This one is actually a bulb of the ginger family, with a bright <\/span>cor amarela <\/span><\/i>(yellow color) and um <\/span>sabor suave<\/span><\/i> (a mild flavor). It is usually sold <\/span>em p\u00f3<\/span><\/i> (in powder form), and can be used to season<\/span> frango<\/span><\/i> (chicken), <\/span>peixe<\/span><\/i> (fish), <\/span>massas<\/span><\/i> (pasta), <\/span>doces<\/span><\/i> (sweets), broths and even for natural coloring of <\/span>latic\u00ednios<\/span><\/i> (<\/span>dairy products), drinks and sauces, such as mustard and mayonnaise.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that’s it for part one! Tune in next time to learn more about Brazilian spices and get your belly rumbling with us! Tenham uma \u00f3tima semana. Have a great week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
