Portuguese Wine Garlic Pork
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups red wine vinegar
  • 3/4 cup red wine
  • 7 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 8 whole cloves, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 (3 pound) boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
1
Combine red wine vinegar, red wine, garlic, bay leaves, cloves, black pepper, salt, and thyme in a bowl. Mix well to create a marinade. Place the ingredients into a resealable plastic bag, adding the pork inside. Ensure the meat is fully coated with the marinade and remove any excess air. Seal the bag tightly, then refrigerate for 2 to 4 days, flipping the meat occasionally throughout this time.
2
Next, preheat your oven to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
3
Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving half a cup of the liquid for later use. Place the meat and reserved marinade in a baking dish, making sure they are well-coated.
4
Bake the pork in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until it is thoroughly warmed through.
5
Carefully pour off as much of the excess liquid from the pork as possible.
6
Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the pork to the skillet in batches, ensuring it is not overcrowded, and cook until it is completely browned on all sides and no longer pink in the center. This process should take around 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of your batches and the desired level of browning.
