What goes with Pig's Ear?
Pig's ear contains skin around a cartilage layer, giving it a different bite from a gelatin-rich trotter. The objective is tender skin with a fine, resilient internal texture. An unprepared ear cannot acquire that balance simply through a brief fry.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Pig's Ear?
Treat the ear as a texture-bearing component. A sharp dressing, herb condiment or mustard dip can enliven its mild pork flavour; a substantial sweet glaze should be used sparingly because it quickly replaces the crisp surface with stickiness.
