Portuguese Roast Pork: Main Dish

Servings: 12

Prep time:3 hours

Ingredients:

  • 1 boneless pork loin (about 4 pounds)

  • 1 1/2 cups water

  • 3/4 cup cider vinegar

  • 1/4 cup dry red wine

  • 1 tablespoon dry hot red pepper or 3-5 dry bird's eye peppers

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Step 1:

Mix water, vinegar, wine, chili, garlic and salt. Place the meat in a heavy plastic food bag and add mixed marinade. Expell air from the bag and seal.

Step 2:

Place bag in a glass or enamel shallow baking dish and refrigerate overnight. Turn over bag and meat occasionally to assure complete coverage.

Step 3:

Preheat oven to 350º F and remove meat from bag. Place meat and marinade back into the baking dish. Roast until an instant-reading meat thermometer registers 170º F. Remove from oven and let stand 30-40 minutes before carving.

Step 4:

This dish is nice when served with roasted potatoes or yams. They can be placed right in the roasting pan, if there's room!
