Mallorcan Ingredients for BBQ: Our Top 5
First-class Mallorcan ingredients make every BBQ something special. Mallorca is a paradise for foodies – and even more so for BBQ enthusiasts. The island offers an abundance of products that give every barbecue evening that special something. Here are our top 5 Mallorcan ingredients for BBQ:
1. Sobrassada – a Mallorcan BBQ Ingredient with Cult Status
The famous Mallorcan raw sausage with paprika is an absolute insider tip on the grill. Simply place a slice on the hot grate – the Sobrassada melts slightly and develops an irresistible, smoky aroma. Perfect as a topping for burgers or on toasted bread.
2. Ramallet Tomatoes
These small, sun-ripened tomatoes are traditionally hung on strings and dried. Halved and roasted with olive oil on the grill, they develop a concentrated sweetness that is second to none.
3. Porc Negre – Premium BBQ Ingredient
The Mallorcan black pig is an autochthonous breed with finely marbled meat. A neck steak from Porc Negre on the grill is an experience – juicy, aromatic and with a nutty undertone. How to prepare it perfectly, you can find in our pulled pork recipe.
4. Flor de Sal d'Es Trenc
The Fleur de Sel from the salt flats near Es Trenc is sought after worldwide. The delicate salt crystals are perfect as a finish on grilled fish or steak. A touch of Flor de Sal just before serving elevates every dish to a new level.
5. Mallorcan Olive Oil
The island produces excellent extra virgin olive oil with a fruity, mild flavour. Whether as a marinade, for brushing on the grill or as a dressing for grilled salads – good olive oil is the foundation of every Mediterranean BBQ.
