About Entrecosto
Entrecosto is a flavorful cut of pork, often associated with Portuguese cuisine, where it's a staple ingredient in hearty dishes like "entrecosto assado" (roasted pork ribs) or "entrecosto com migas" (pork ribs with breadcrumbs). This cut typically includes a portion of the ribs and surrounding meat, offering a balance of tender, fatty, and slightly chewy textures. Entrecosto is rich in protein, essential for muscle maintenance and repair, but also contains a notable amount of fat, including saturated fats. Its nutritional profile makes it energy-dense, which is ideal for active individuals but should be consumed in moderation by those aiming to reduce calorie or fat intake. When prepared with herbs, garlic, and olive oil, Entrecosto aligns with the Mediterranean diet’s emphasis on flavor and balanced nutrition, though frying or pairing it with rich sauces can increase its calorie load.
