About Coca de llardons
Ada Parellada’s coca de llardons brings pork cracklings into a Catalan sweet pastry associated with Carnival and Sant Joan. Her rendition uses puff pastry, with the cracklings pressed into its folds.
Sugar, pine nuts and chopped almonds cover the surface. The savoury pork contrasts with the sweet topping, while the nuts add their own flavour and bite.
Baking turns the folded pastry into a thin, layered coca with a generous nut topping. It belongs to the puff-pastry style of coca de llardons also documented in Catalan bakery practice.
