An unusual way of serving presa iberica but trust me, it works. I don’t think I have ever tasted such a light burger in my life. Presa iberica is a very marbled cut so it lends itself well to making burgers from it. It is also the most expensive meat cut from the Iberico pork, so this burger will be a special treat to anyone. I haven’t added any spices or seasonings to the mince mix because I just want to taste the delicious flavour of the presa and not to hide it with other flavours but if you prefer to add some spice or heat to the mix, it will also work well.
