Spanish term

lomo semicocido

Spanish to English Other Food & Drink
Again this is from a list of Legl Product Denominations' for foods.

I can find pictures of this and descriptions of it but I don't know what we would call it in English, also I can't believe it is only partly cooked as surely this would be unsafe?

Discussion

cocido/cured Sometimes semicocido is used as *semi-prepared* like in some meats products that are only marinated (adobados), but in which the meat is still raw. The vendors call them semicocidos to convey the idea they are half cooked because you have spend less time *cooking* (working in the kitchen) them. In those cases it is just marketing gimmick

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-partially-cooked-ham.htm#sli...
A partially cooked ham is a ham which has been heated while it is processed to eliminate the larvae of the trichina parasite, which causes trichinosis. Partially cooked hams still need to be cooked before they will be safe to eat, but the risk of food-borne illness is drastically reduced by purchasing a ham partially cooked and cooking it to a safe internal temperature. By contrast, it is also possible to purchased cooked hams, which are safe to eat as is, or raw hams, which must be cooked longer to reach the recommended internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browning_(partial_cooking)
Browning is the process of partially cooking the surface of meat to help remove excessive fat and to give the meat a brown color crust and flavor through various browning reactions. Ground meat will frequently be browned prior to adding other ingredients and completing the cooking process. The process is commonly used when adding ground meat to casseroles or other prepackaged food products like Hamburger Helper, where the final cooking temperature will not be high enough to initiate the Maillard reaction.

Although it is half-cooked, the meat is prepared to be safe for consumption:

Jane, depending on the type of 'lomo semicocido', you could add information regarding the meat preparation/preservation process, whether it was smoked, marinated, soaked in brine and lemon juice, cured, etc. Hope it helps :)
Note from asker:
Hi Ana, thanks but I already knew this. Half-cooked loin is not safe to eat (or sell) so I am asking exactly how this is prepared, and what the equivalent would be in English.

Not sure - maybe it depends on the details of the curing - we need to hear from Noni Gilbert!

Me too but wouldn't it say 'curado'?

semicured

If it is intended as precursor to ham preparation otherwise partially cooked as Taña proposed.

Pork loin is used in the preparation of cured meat, like the famous Spanish lomo embuchado but it is also sold semicured and smoked which some people consider safe to eat as is but others do not.

Frequently semicurado o semicocido is used on cured, readly to eat, meats
