Pork cheeks naturally call for generous red wines with soft tannins that won’t overpower the meat’s tenderness.
Fruity red wines like a Burgundy Pinot Noir are excellent with a pork cheek stew and vegetables.
Their red berry notes highlight the gentle richness of the meat and sauce.
A red Beaujolais Village AOC or one of the Beaujolais crus (such as Fleurie or Morgon) also makes a fine match, offering freshness and fruitiness without weighing down the dish.
If the recipe is bolder, featuring rich cooking fats, concentrated jus, and aromatic herbs like flat-leaf parsley, rosemary, or thyme, then go for a fuller-bodied red wine such as a Languedoc, Corbières AOC, or Fitou AOC.
These wines’ well-integrated tannins pair wonderfully with the depth of the sauce without clashing with the meat’s texture.
Pork cheeks with red wine and diced carrots: Cahors AOC, full-bodied Côtes du Rhône AOC
Pork cheeks with mashed or steamed potatoes: Beaujolais Village AOC
Whether you prefer smooth, red berry-forward wines or more robust reds from the Rhône Valley, there’s always a wine that can elevate this slow-cooked dish.
The key to a perfect wine pairing with pork cheeks lies in the recipe itself: the cooking method, the garnish, and the sauce must all be considered to achieve true harmony.

Heat 1 - 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan then add the onion.
Cook gently for 10 – 15 minutes until softened and lighty coloured.
Toss the cheeks in the seasoned flour.
Add a little more oil to the pan and turn up the heat.
Brown the pork cheeks all over in batches.
Return all the pork and the reserved onions to the pan.
Add the garlic, cumin and paprika and cook for a minute, then pour in the sherry.
Pour in the beef stock then bring the pan to a simmer.
Simmer gently for 2 hours or until the cheeks are tender.
Scatter with parsley leaves and flaked almonds.

Pork cheeks are of great nutritional value for our health.
One of its main characteristics is that it provides all the essential amino acids our body needs to function correctly.
But it is also meat rich in iron, a beneficial mineral for combating anemia, and B vitamins, necessary for the body to carry out many vital functions.
This type of meat is recommended for people with high cholesterol and those who follow a slimming diet due to its low percentage of saturated fats.
The vegetables accompanying this recipe provide the dish with vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
In peppers, for example, antioxidants abound in vitamins A and C.
These not only combat premature aging but also protect our skin from the sun's UV rays and prevent the onset of eye diseases.
The cheeks are a type of meat that requires slow and long cooking for a soft and tender bite.
That is why it is mainly used in stews and roasts.
For the meat to turn out perfectly, you must choose a good quality piece, as is the case with Iberian pork.
But it also requires planning since you will need between one and two hours of cooking at medium-low heat, depending on the weight of each piece.

Pork cheeks are exactly what their name implies: the slip of meat in the hollow of the cheek, underneath the animal's eyes.
Relatively lean, yet very moist meat.
There are few parts of the animal for which this is true.
Usually, you need marbled fat to get the same degree of tenderness—say, in the neck region, the shoulders, or in parts of the brisket.
But cheek meat is like hock meat—the same kind of lean meat connected by lots of tissues and collagen.
Cook it for a long time, and the meat breaks down into hockey-puck-sized nuggets of fork-tender flesh.
You might not have the advantage getting bone and cartilage in the mix, but cheek meat is so good on its own If you can get your hands on some, pound-for-pound it's a much better deal.
The cheeks will be good braised any which way.
I can never get enough of a Sichuan-style red-braise with chili bean paste, fermented black beans, soy sauce, wine, and sugar.
Or, try this Italian braise with tomato sauce and red wine.
The sauce is just one step away from being a complete meal with the addition of pasta, spaetzle, or polenta.

Ultra tender braised pork cheeks in wine sauce with shallots on a bed of mashed potatoes, a tasty tapa or main dish recipe coming straight from Spain.
Braised pork cheeks in wine sauce is a delicate yet powerful dish.
Although the meat is tender and melts on your tongue, the flavour is outstanding.
I encountered this dish on a tapas night in San Sebastian, Spain.
Lost in a dark corner of a little plaza, in a place called “La Cuchara de San Telmo,” a heavenly place.
It’s their star dish; they no longer have to write it down on the menu board since it’s so popular.
The trick here is to cook slow and long pork cheeks.
They are so underrated; they should be the most expensive and exquisite piece of pork, but lucky for our wallets, it’s not…
Cheeks got all the flavour, and it’s a relatively lean part.
Its secret? The collagen.

The twins, who are growing up far too fast, will be far too busy tearing up the lawn on their bikes or listening to Katy Bloody Perry or generally turning their rooms upside-down.
Whenever I do get into the kitchen on a Sunday, for some culinary me time, intrigue always gets the better of them and they are often to be found by my side, issuing a thousand questions about food.
Like “Does cheese come from Africa?”
The saving grace is that throughout it all, because it will be Father’s Day soon (my day) I will have the ultimate say in what we have to eat and that will be something rich, meaty, comforting and yielding; like pork cheeks, braised in stock, with herbs and wine.
It might seem odd to suggest slow cooking in June, what with all the wonderful weather we are having (ha!) but there really is no other way to treat these beautiful and inexpensive nuggets of porcine joy.
The main point being, that once the preparation is done and everything is gently cooking away, this is the best sort of dish because it allows me to spend some quality time with my family.
