Garlic Roasted Pork Torresmos Recipes

PORTUGUESE GARLIC ROASTED PORK (TORRESMOS)

Steps:

• Cut the pork into 2 inch cubes and separate the ribs, then place in a large container with a lid. Combine all of the remaining ingredients (except the lard) and pour over the pork, turning to coat.
• Let the meat marinade for between 24 & 48 hours in the refrigerator, turning several times.
• When ready to cook, remove the meat from the fridge at least 30 minutes before using.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F Melt the lard in the roasting pan.
• Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade.
• Add the pork and red peppers to the melted lard and cook covered until the pork is cooked, turning occasionally.

TORRESMOS-PORTUGUESE GARLIC ROASTED PORK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place the peppers and salt into a food processor and mince.
• Combine the minced peppers with the garlic, paprika, white wine and red wine in a large glass bowl.
• Add the pork pieces to the marinade, making sure the pork is coated well.
• Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• After 24 hours remove pork, and discard the marinade.
• Pour oil into a large roasting pan, place the pork in the roasting pan and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast at 375 degrees for about 1 hour (turn the pork regularly to make sure pork stays moist).
• Depending on the cut and how thick your pork pieces are, cooking time may need to be adjusted. Pork should register at least 160-170 degrees for safety.
• I have not tried this yet, but was thinking of marinating a whole pork shoulder or loin roast and trying it in the crockpot.
