Cachopo is a meaty delicacy from the Spanish region of Asturias, consisting of two veal or beef steaks filled with cheese and a slice of ham. The whole concoction is then coated in breadcrumbs and fried in hot oil. The dish is traditionally served with roasted potatoes, grilled peppers, and mushrooms on the side.
"Cachopo was served cut into strips and accompanied by salad, roasted pepper and abundant amount of real chips. The batter was slightly peeled and the fillets were tender."
"Here they serve perhaps the best cachopo in the entire Madrid."
