Caldo de cocido med iberisk kjøtt, Enrique Tomás

The aroma hit me the second I opened the jar—rich, deep, and unmistakably pork-forward. I threw in some chickpeas and leftover veg, and it tasted like it had been simmering all day, not just reheated. This is my new go-to for a quick cocido base.

Opened the carton and poured it straight into a pot for a quick weeknight dinner—the broth turned out rich and hearty, with little shreds of meat that made it feel genuinely homemade. It saved me hours of simmering but tasted like I hadn't cut any corners.

I was skeptical a boxed broth could taste this close to homemade, but the ibérico pork really comes through and gives it that rich, savory depth. It's become my shortcut for a quick lunch when I want something warming without all the simmering time.
