The constructions

Fat, salt, and a sweetness sauces will try to double. The roast and the grill—not the cured board.

Porchetta, a crusted chop, and a dry rub can meet Habano. Sauce should be jus or vinegar, not candy.

Maduro / San Andrésfullcomplement

Country ham, a fatty roast, and dry-rub bark have the weight. A glazed loin will vanish under ligero.

Baking spice likes fennel and a porchetta’s fat cap. Keep the glaze off.
