Roasted suckling pig in Segovia. Central Spain is known for roasted meat, especially baby lamb and suckling pigs. In Segovia, suckling pig is a regional art and a must-have for visitors without pork restriction. The baby pork is so tender that traditionally, chefs would cut the pig with a regular dining plate in front of the guests to show how tender the meat is. This particular suckling pig is from the restaurant Jose Maria. The meat is tender and juicy, yet with slight resistance at the end of the bite. A soft al dante if you will. The skin is crisp and crunchy. Incredibly delicious. We paired it with a glass of young Ribera del Duero, which is the local wine of choice in the area. Suckling pig is a must have when visiting Segovia and Jose Maria does it expertly. Highly recommended. #sucklingpig #roastedpig #segovia #spain #castillayleon #pig #roasted #restaurantejosemaria #riberadelduero #foodporn #foodlover #foodtravel #foodstagram #foodpairing #winepairing #winelover #winestagram #madrid (at Restaurante José María)
