WHAT CAN ICP BELLY CLIPPED BE USED FOR ?
Why: The high fat content melts beautifully when roasted low and slow, creating crispy skin and tender meat.
How:
Score the skin, season with salt and herbs.
Roast at a low temp (e.g., 150°C / 300°F) for a few hours, then crisp the skin at high heat.
Serve with pan juices, potatoes, or greens.
Why: Ibérico belly absorbs flavor well and becomes melt-in-the-mouth tender when braised.
How:
Asian-style: Braise in soy sauce, ginger, garlic, star anise, and rice wine (like in Chinese red-braised pork or Japanese kakuni).
Spanish-style: Use sherry, smoked paprika, garlic, and rosemary for a deeper Mediterranean profile.
Why: The marbled fat renders quickly, creating crispy edges and juicy meat.
How:
Cut into thick strips or cubes.
Sear in a hot pan or grill until golden and slightly charred.
Serve tapas-style with chimichurri, romesco, or aioli.
