Sometimes this column prompts me to discard personal shibboleths like: Never buy pre-made hamburger patties. I could not resist these simple, chubby sliders made mostly of excellent ground Ibérico pork from Spanish pigs that feast on acorns. Modest salt and generous black pepper stoke the meaty flavor. Let them sizzle on a grill, or better yet, in a heavy pan so you get an ample pool of fat for frying potatoes. You’ll want them cooked to medium before tucking them into little buns. An appropriate garnish would be slices of piquillo pepper: Ibérico de Bellota pork sliders, six (one pound) for $19.95 (shipped frozen), www.tienda.com.
