Bocadillo de cerdo

(Bocadillo de carne de cerdo, Bocata de cerdo)

Bocadillo de cerdo is a Spanish meat sandwich consisting of a loaf of bread that's filled with pork.  A Spanish-style baguette (barra de pan) is the usual choice of bread for the sandwich, although burger buns, rustic bread, or pan Gallego (traditional Galician bread) are also often used instead of a baguette.


The main ingredient of the sandwich's filling is pork, which may come in various forms - pork loin chops, roasted pork, lomo de cerdo (pork tenderloin), pork fillets, pulled pork, or pork ribs, among others ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­- while other common additions to the filling include fried onions, slices of crispy-fried bacon, tortilla, goat cheese, cabbage, pickles, butter, roasted red peppers, and a variety of sauces.


These pork sandwiches are often heated in the oven to make them crispy and warm, and they're commonly enjoyed for lunch or dinner, or as a filling snack at any time of the day. Bocadillo de cerdo is often served with a side of french fries and a glass of cold beer or a soft drink such as Coca Cola.

"Gathering influences from different cultures - Creole, American and Italian - and after 3 hours of cooking, they come up with dishes as elaborate as the bocadillo La Porca. Yes, we are talking about a bocadillo with juicy carne de cerdo asada with red pesto of dried tomatoes, onion marinated in lime and coriander, crispy lettuce and a reduction of homemade vermouth."

"A must when I get off the plane is to go and eat an authentic bocadillo de pata de cerdo with queso tierno and local bread at the Yazmina bar. It's funny how when the plane is landing, I already start to visualize it, its smell... its taste..."
