Iberian secret with cous cous and apple salad

The Iberian secret is one of the most valued cuts of Iberian pork. It’s an exquisite cut. It’s from a specific part of fresh Iberian pork, highly appreciated in national and international gastronomy. It’s unique because it’s a juicy and tasty meat (thanks to its particular characteristic of infiltrating fat in the meat), it is quite versatile and easy to prepare. You’ll see!

Cooking step by step

step by step

The couscous:

Bring water with a pinch of salt to a boil.
Measure the couscous in a glass, then pour it into a soup dish or bowl. Measure the same amount of hot water in the glass, pour it into the bowl and cover with a plate so that the couscous absorbs the water for a few minutes. 

El cuscus - Secreto iberico con cuscus

Mise en place:

Cut scallion at an angle.
Chop prunes.
Dice apple.
Cut lemon in half and squeeze it.
Chop mint leaves (throw away the stems). 

The salad:

Mix couscous with scallion, prunes, apple, lemon juice and mint leaves. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Stir well. 

The iberian secret:

Heat the frying pan without oil to maximum. Put the meat into it and lower the heat to medium temperature. Wait until the cooking line reaches a little above half the height on the side, then flip it over.
The point of doneness: when the consistency in the thick part of the meat is similar to that of the lower part of the thenar eminence on your hand, your meat is done. 

Your dish:

Fillet the “secreto” as horizontally as possible (i.e., diagonally so that the slices are thin and have a large surface area). Season with salt flakes.
Serve it with the salad.
