Asturian cachopo
Also known as: Cachopo de ternera
Breaded Asturian veal enclosing Iberian ham and Asturian cheese.
About Asturian cachopo
Cachopo joins two veal fillets around ham and cheese inside a breaded coating. Turismo Asturias publishes this rendition from Las Tablas del Campillín, using Asturian veal, Asturian cheese and thin slices of Iberian ham.
The ham gives the filling a savoury character, balanced by the cheese. Salt and pepper season the meat, while olive oil is the frying medium. The filling is arranged in layers between the two fillets.
The finished cachopo has a golden, crisp coating on both sides. The official recipe presents it with fried potatoes and peppers, keeping the filled meat as the centre of the plate.
