History

A suckling pig is an animal that has not yet been weaned from its mother. Its meat is known for its amazing tenderness, which adult pork cannot compare to – you cannot use other meat in this recipe. Anyone who has tried it will notice the difference immediately. The delicacy is expensive in good restaurants, but it is worth trying.

Another advantage is that the meat does not harm your figure, as it is low in calories. Surprised? Piglets do not have time to gain weight and fat, so the layers are simply absent. Despite this, dishes made from them turn out to be very juicy – there is not a hint of dryness here.

Researchers found the first similar recipes in the records of ancient Roman and Chinese cooks. Many believe that the tradition of roasting a pig originated in Spain – the dish is called “Cochinillo asado”. You can try the delicacy in the taverns of Madrid and Segovia. The recipe is complex and unique, but it is unlikely that it will be shared in these establishments!
