SLOW-COOKED SPICY PORTUGUESE CACOILA

Slow-Cooked Spicy Portuguese Cacoila image

You're probably used to pulled pork coated with barbecue sauce and made into sandwiches. Portuguese pulled pork is a spicy dish often served at our large family functions. Each cook generally adds his or her own touches that reflect their taste and Portuguese heritage. A mixture of beef roast and pork can be used. -Michele Merlino, Exeter, Rhode Island

CAçOILA (PORTUGUESE STEWED BEEF)

Caçoila (Portuguese Stewed Beef) image

This recipe is from Pico Island in the Azores, off the west coast of Portugal. It's pronounced 'ka-soy-la', and it's named for the clay pot (called a cacoila) in which it traditionally was made. The pot is soaked overnight, ingredients added the next morning, and then slow baked in an oven for 8 hours to tenderize the meat. Today...

Ingredients

4 1/2 lb beef rump roast, cut into 2-inch chunks (you can use pork butt instead of rump roast)
1 to 2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes)
1 large onion, cut into thin slices
1/2 c fresh parsley, coarsely chopped

2. Layer the onion slices, parsley, garlic, and bay leaf in the bottom of a Dutch oven. Place the meat on top and dot with the butter. Mix together the wine and tomato paste and pour over the meat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a low simmer, and cook, covered, until the meat is very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours, occasionally turning the pieces to keep moist.
3. Serve immediately while still hot, with boiled white potatoes and roasted red peppers served alongside, if desired.

CACOILA (PORTUGUESE STEWED PORK)

Cacoila (Portuguese Stewed Pork) image

You take an inexpensive piece of pork season it with a combination of spices and red wine, then slow cook to produce a tender and flavorful meal. In the south of Portugal the meat is cooked directly in the marinade (like this recipe) while some cooks in the north like to marinate the pork up to 2 days then cook it on a rack. Sometimes they slide a tray of cooked rice underneath the roast to catch the juices (the rice will have a strong flavor, not to everyone's taste). Please do not be tempted to use a more expensive cut, such as tenderloin, because it will not have the marbling necessary to keep the meat moist during the long cooking time. Serve with plain boiled potatoes and Portuguese hard rolls to soak up the pan juices.

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 -5 lbs pork butt
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 oranges (juice only)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
1 pinch ground cinnamon or 1 pinch ground allspice
1 cup dry red wine
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Cut excess fat from the pork and then cut into 2-inch cubes; place meat into an oven-safe casserole that has a lid.
In a medium bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; pour over pork in casserole.
Gently massage wine and seasonings into the meat and cover casserole; place in oven for about 2 1/2 hours.
You will want to periodically check that the meat to be sure it is tenderizing and that the flavors are blending in; also, be sure that all the liquid does not evaporate (you can add additional wine or water).
Once you can easily break the meat apart with a fork, it is done.
