Abanico Ibérico (Ibérico Fan Cut)

The Abanico Ibérico is a fine, highly marbled cut that can be consumed whole, sliced or even cut into small cube like portions. Its name arises from the shape of the muscle that makes up the same, which is similar to the shape of a hand or an open hand fan. Its meat is very tasty and juicy, perfect for charcoal barbequing or simply grilled.

Also barbequing or grilling is a perfect choice because of the meat’s marbling, although it can also be included in a variety of dishes. Stews, rice dishes, cooked dishes, skewers or kebabs,… And don’t forget to keep all its fat on during its cooking. It is precisely in its fat marbling where a great part of the magic of its flavor is to be found.
