Each kitchen has its own traditional delicacies, which are made from different parts of the pig. An interesting taste challenge comes from Italy, specifically from the regions of Umbria and Lazio. This is Guanchale, a delicacy made from pork cheeks.
How is Guanchale made?
Translated the name of the delicacy Guanchale means pillow. This is a figurative meaning of the word cheek, obtained in an associative way. The meat is tasty and fragrant, as it is dried with various spices for 3 weeks. This allows the spices to penetrate the texture of the meat and give it the taste and aroma familiar to its consumption.
The preparation of Guanchale it is not difficult. It is difficult to find a suitable room that is cool and ventilated and to dry the meat there. In the absence of such a room in the home, drying can be done in the refrigerator.
The preparation of the specialty follows several steps. The selected piece from pork cheek, about half a kilogram, pour cabbage broth and water in equal proportions and boil for 1-2 hours.
In a bowl, crush and mix the spices - sea salt, black peppercorns, allspice, dill seeds, garlic powder, paprika, hot pepper and juniper.
The cooked piece of meat is cooled, rubbed with the dry mixture and wrapped in household stretch film. The long sitting in the refrigerator guarantees its tough and appetizing taste. Its taste is especially pleasant and soft after a month.
Meat can be consumed as an appetizer to various drinks, but chefs include it in many recipes. The most famous of these is the traditional spaghetti dish Carbonara.
Guanchale is used more often instead of the more traditional Pancetta, because it has a much more characteristic taste, which combines very well with other ingredients such as Parmesan, pecorino, vegetables, emphasizing the taste of each ingredient.
Guanchale has a better taste than bacon because the flesh is from the muscle in the cheek of the animal and this makes the texture much meatier. This delicacy can also be fried like ordinary bacon.
