Iberico pork collar is highly prized for its abundant marbling with sweet, nutty fat. It’s quite rich, so here we’ve served thin slices paired with a range of hot & sour condiments and sweet bibb lettuce.
This recipe is quick & easy – the ingredients do all the heavy lifting, so it doesn’t take complex technique or time to make them delicious.
