Today at Ses Oliveres we would like to announce the return of one of the most acclaimed dishes on our menu. It is one of the dishes you have asked us most about: Iberian pork chop rice, a dish that combines tradition, quality and innovation, and which delights the palates of those who try it.
A Rice with Mediterranean Roots and Nuances
Ses Oliveres’ Iberian pork chop rice is a true fusion of top quality ingredients with culinary techniques that bring out the authentic flavours of the island of Mallorca. The basis of the recipe is a perfectly cooked rice, with a balance between the mellow texture and the deep flavour provided by the traditional sofrito.
Iberian pork, known for its juicy and richly nuanced meat, is the star of this dish. In our restaurant, selected chops from sustainably reared pigs are used, guaranteeing authentic flavour and a memorable culinary experience.
The Preparation: A Culinary Work of Art
The preparation begins with a slow simmered sofrito, using fresh local produce such as tomatoes, onions and garlic. This step is essential, as it creates the aromatic base on which the dish is built. Mediterranean spices and herbs are then added, which enhance the flavours without overshadowing the essence of the Iberian pork.
The chops are carefully seared to preserve their natural juices and then added to the rice along with a homemade broth, prepared with local bones and vegetables. The result is a mellow rice, infused with the juices of the meat and the flavour of the broth, a true explosion of flavours in every mouthful.
A Perfect Pairing in Port de Sóller
Iberian pork chop rice becomes an even more special experience when paired with the carefully selected wines on the Ses Oliveres wine list. From a fruity Mallorcan red to a full-bodied Rioja, the pairing options enhance every nuance of the dish, offering a unique sensory experience.
And, as a complement, there is no better setting than the restaurant’s terrace, with views of the harbour and the mountains. Enjoying this dish in the open air, accompanied by the golden light of the Sóller sunset, is a real privilege.
