The gentle cooking method ensures the meat stays moist while developing a delicious caramelized crust. Sliced thin, it becomes an elegant addition to charcuterie boards, or diced into hearty soups and bean dishes popular in comfort food cooking. Pair this quality pork specialty cut with seasonal vegetables, sweet potato casseroles, or fresh salads for a well-rounded meal that celebrates heritage flavors.
