To the delicious cachopo
If you have never eaten a cachopo, you are among the cowards because they say that eating these breaded fillets of enormous size is for the strong. It's not a big deal, don't worry. It is a dish that traditionally is usually shared, although it is nonetheless true that smaller, individual cachopos are starting to proliferate, which it is advisable to ask about so as not to get any frights. A ‘señor cachopo' must have two fillets of Asturian beef, preferably in the area of the thigh, round or bottom sirloin, Serrano or Iberian ham and some slices of a not very strong Asturian cheese (cheese from Oscos or Vidiago is ideal). It is coated in flour, egg and breadcrumbs, fried and... voilà! Cachopo is served. Some tips are that the oil should be very hot and clean, without the aromas of other foods, and the fillets shouldn't be cooked too long so that they stay pink inside.
