Chicharrón

(Cortezas de cerdo)

Chicharrón is a popular Spanish and Latin American dish consisting of pork rinds that are fried in oil until they develop a crunchy texture. It is believed that the dish originated in Andalusia and gained popularity in the rest of the world afterwards.


Today, there are numerous variations of chicharrón, so, in Peru, it is served with fried yuca and an onion relish, and in the Philippines the accompaniments are liver sauce and pickled papaya.
