Oreja a la plancha
In some countries, pigs ears are used as dog treats, so it could be considered as taboo food...
But in Spanish cuisine, pig's ear is served roasted as Oreja de Cerdo, one of the tapas snacks, or boiled in many variants of stew and cocido. We have a saying in Spain: "Del cerdo, se come hasta los andares," which basically means that we eat every last bit of a pig, down to its trotters. And pig's ears are a great delicacy.
When cooked, the outer texture is gelatinous, akin to tofu, and the center cartilage is crunchy.
