Preparation:
Put many salt and pepper on the pork belly and take to the oven or grill. Cook till browning and find the desired point of baking.
Reduction
On the other hand, make the wine’s reduction with honey, and once the consistence of the sauce is achieved, add fresh chopped peperina. Let it make an infusion for some minutes. With this reduction, brush the belly at the last minutes of its cooking so it can get shiny and of a delicate flavor.
Salad To go with this meat, make a salad of a mix of leaves and season with a balsamic vinaigrette with smoked sparkles.
The seasoning for leaves can be made with fruity vinegars as raspberries or apple instead of the smoked aceto.
You can say that Córdoba smells of peperina. It grows since ages in the sierras and is considered as important as the accent of the province. It comes from the mint family.
