Carrillera Iberica, or pork cheeks, have an amazing flavor.
Start by trimming the pork cheeks, there's usually some membranes/sinew on one side.
Now apply the rub evenly on all sides.
Let them rest on a plate in the fridge for a few hours before smoking them.
Fire up your grill, prepare it for indirect grilling.
Have it running at 250° – 265° F.
When the grill is up to temp and have stabilized you can add 2-3 chunks of wood for smoking.
I use cherry wood, but oak and apple works just as well.
Place the pork cheeks on the grates and smoke them for hours.
Then put them on a plate or tray and bring them in to the kitchen.
Peel and roughly chop the peaches.
Heat up a pan using medim heat and add the oil.
Now crush the garlic cloves and add to the oil.
Take care not to brown them, they should just add flavor to the oil.
Add the paprika, cumin and thyme after 1 minute and stir.
Now add the red wine, bay leaves, peaches and pork cheeks.
Let it simmer gently for 2-3 hours, with the lid on, but with a small gap.
Check after 2 hours to see if the meat is fall apart tender.
If not, let it simmer a little longer.
When the casserole is close to done it's time to add the sugar and the corn starch.
Bring it to a boil real quick to thicken the sauce, then remove from the stove.
Let it cool off for 5 minutes before serving, with a spoon of creme fraiche and a slice of bread.

During our food and tapas tours through Seville downtown, you might have tried this traditional Spanish dish, which is very tasty and very easy to prepare at home.
In this article you can find the recipe of the typical Sevillan / Iberian Carrillada de cerdo.
We season them and seal them in the casserole with virgin olive oil.
Put them aside.
Then we prepare the sauce for the meat, in a stew.
To do this we finely chop the carrots, onion and pepper.
Together with the whole unpeeled garlic, we fry it all in the oil that we have used to seal the cheeks.
Then we add the bay leaf and the thyme sprig.

These pork cheeks come from free-range Ibérico pigs.
These pigs wander ample pasture in the Southwestern Spanish countryside, with diets largely consisting of sweet acorns.
The 'carrilleras' are on the leaner side, but preserve the rich, robust flavor of acorn-sweetened fat.
When braising this cut, the flavors will gradually become incredibly juicy and tender, a perfect match for foraged mushrooms.

Carrillada de Ternera = Braised beef cheeks
Carrillada Ibérica or Carrillada de Cerdo = Braised pork cheeks
Whether beef cheeks or Iberian pork cheeks, carrillada is a star of Spanish cuisine.
The relatively lean, moist cut of meat that comes from the cheek of the animal is a fantastic cut that is usually served braised in a variety of delicious sauces all around Spain.
When properly cooked over a low heat, carrillada absolutely melts in your mouth— you often won’t even need a knife to cut it.
Pork cheeks can be prepared in flavorful sauces, such as garlic, tomato and port wine or a fantastic sauce of white wine, onion and carrot.
Beef cheeks have a similar preparation and can often pair with the same sauces.
However, some excellent options for beef cheeks are a red wine, onion and pumpkin sauce or a rich sauce of mushrooms, tomato and the famous Pedro Ximénez wine.
If you are planning to visit Madrid, you can arrange a custom tapas tour where we will try Madrid’s best carrillada.
