Oreja a la plancha

(Oreja de cerdo)

Oreja a la plancha is a traditional tapa from Madrid. It consists of pig's ears that are cut into slices or cubes and grilled in olive oil with spices and seasonings. In Madrid, the dish is often served with mushrooms and pieces of bacon, accompanied by lemon wedges (and small toothpicks for eating the ears) on the side.


In the Basque region, the ears are served with salsa Vizcaina, a sauce made from onions, garlic, stock, and red peppers. Most people claim that the best part of oreja a la plancha is the texture – from the crunchy cartilage to the chewy skin.


It's recommended to pair this tapa with a cold beer on the side.
