This beautiful pork cheek stew has taken its place firmly at the top of our favourites list to have come out of the Gran Luchito test kitchen. Our friends over at Market Porter sent us a box of some of their favourite underrated cuts to play with, and we were over the moon to find pork cheeks included in the mix.
If you’ve never cooked with pork cheeks before, we can’t recommend them highly enough. They are perfectly suited to long, slow cooking which unlocks and releases all of their natural marbling and big flavour and that’s exactly what we did with them. We served the pork cheek stew with a really tasty potato, celeriac and parmesan mash.
If cooking low and slow is your thing then you really should really check out our slow cooker pork pibil recipe and if you have the time our chicken mole recipe.
