Pierna de Cerdo al Horno En CASA (Paso a Paso)

iberico pork legs

🥗Healthier: pork tenderloin

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Pork shoulder is more affordable while still offering rich flavor.

Select high-quality Iberico pork legs.

Prepare a dry rub with sea salt, black pepper, and spices.

Massage the dry rub into the pork legs thoroughly.

Wrap the pork legs in cheesecloth or butcher paper.

Hang the wrapped legs in a cool, dry place for curing.

Allow to cure for a minimum of 12 months, checking for moisture.

Once cured, remove the wrapping and slice thinly.

Serve with crusty bread and olives.

Pair with a robust red wine for best flavor.

Store remaining ham in a cool, dark place.
