Pork Diaphragm

Pork diaphragm is the muscular partition separating the thoracic and abdominal cavities of the pig. It is a less traditional but flavorful cut of meat with an intense taste reminiscent of beef skirt steak. The diaphragm is fattier and more sinewy, so it requires proper preparation, marinating and slow grilling or roasting. When cooked correctly, it is juicy and full of flavor. It is especially popular in Asian and Latin American cuisines, but is gaining fans in Central Europe as well. It works well grilled over direct heat or as a filling for tacos and burgers.
