Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Slicing the three strands to an even thickness ensures heat is distributed evenly in the oven, preventing undercooked parts and ensuring a beautiful result.
  • If you do not remove the fat and juices after the first roast, the bottom will end up steaming in the oil, so it is essential to empty the tray to achieve overall crispiness.
  • Coating the surface with a thin layer of sugar or honey maximizes the caramelization reaction, creating a crunchy, cookie-like crust.
  • When removing cartilage, be careful not to cut too deep, as it may sever the meat strands; only remove the specific areas where the bone is felt.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a special meat dish with an overwhelming visual appeal that will impress everyone at the table.
  • Those who want to experience the ultimate contrasting texture that combines the succulence of boiled pork with the crispiness of barbecue.
  • Those who want to enjoy pork in a lean and savory way by using multi-stage oven cooking to perfectly render out the fat.
