Roasting the Iberico collar in the oven is another great way to cook this tender cut. The slow roasting process helps to render the fat, making the meat melt in your mouth.
How to do it: Season the collar with herbs like rosemary, garlic, and thyme. Roast in a preheated oven at around 350°F (175°C) for 45-60 minutes, depending on the size. Make sure to baste the meat occasionally to keep it moist.
This cut can also be slow-cooked or braised, which is perfect for making tender, flavorful dishes.
How to do it: Brown the meat in a pan, then add broth, wine, or tomato sauce, along with aromatics like onions, garlic, and herbs. Let it simmer for a few hours until the meat is tender and can be easily pulled apart.
For a quicker preparation, you can pan-fry or sear the Iberico collar. This works especially well if the cut is thinner.
How to do it: Heat a bit of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the collar on both sides for about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Let it rest before slicing.
If you're looking for a casual meal, you can slice the cooked Iberico collar and use it as a filling for tacos, sandwiches, or wraps. It pairs well with salsas, fresh vegetables, and creamy sauces.
You can use Iberico collar in hearty stews or soups, where its rich flavor will add depth to the broth.
How to do it: After browning the meat, add it to the soup or stew base, along with vegetables and seasonings. Simmer until the meat becomes tender and the flavors meld together.
