Pork Spleen (Pajarilla) — 3 lb Bag

Pajarilla — pork spleen — is one of those cuts that never shows up in a supermarket case but never stops selling here. The texture is soft and fine, the flavor is deep and distinctly mineral, and it is traditional across Cuban, Colombian and Dominican kitchens.

Most people either fry it in thin strips with plenty of onion and garlic, or stew it down slowly with tomato and peppers. Slice it while it is still partly frozen — it is much easier to cut cleanly that way.

• Fresh-frozen, never aged — frozen within days of processing.
• Approximately 3 lb per bag.
