Portuguese Roast Pork

This dish is similar to other Latin-style roast pork, with
it's marinade of vinegar and garlic. The addition of hot
chilies hints at the cross pollenation between Portugal
and her African colonies.

Total preparation time:  3 hours
Serves:  12

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

Steps:

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

An east facing view at twilight...The ocean is just across the street.Number Two has it's own entrance and, as do all units, a private bath.
Number One has colonial furnishings, in keeping with the rest of The Anchorage.Here's another view of Number One, clean and cozy. The rocking chair comes in handy for relaxing.
