This week’s simplified Spanish recipe is secreto! In my personal opinion, the most delicious meat to ever exist. Very popular in Spanish culture and hard to find in other countries- this meat will undoubtedly get your mouth watering.
INGREDIENTS
Secreto pork
Salt
Black pepper
Garlic cloves
Fresh parsley
Lemon
METHOD
- Remove the secreto from the fridge and identify the fattier side and the leaner side.
- Season both sides lightly with salt.
- Place a cold pan over medium heat. Add the secreto fat-side down, with no oil in the pan.
- Allow the fat to render slowly. Season the top side with black pepper.
- Add a couple of garlic cloves to the pan and move them around gently as they cook.
- Cook the secreto like a fillet steak — as it cooks, the sides will begin to rise.
- Once the meat starts to lift and colour, flip it over.
- Cook for a couple of minutes more, turning to seal all sides evenly.
- Remove the garlic once cooked and fragrant.
- Take the secreto off the heat and plate up.
- Finish with chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lemon.
