Rojões à Minhota - Portugal traditional dish

🧂 食材

600 g Pork loin
100 ml Dry white wine(Such as Vinho Verde or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc)
4 cloves Garlic
2 tsp Ground cumin
2 Bay leaves
1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
0.5 tsp Black pepper(freshly ground, or to taste)
2-3 tbsp Olive oil or lard(for frying)

👨‍🍳 步驟

1
Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the white wine, minced garlic, ground cumin, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to combine.
⏱️ 5 minutes
2
Marinate the pork: Add the cubed pork to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to meld.
⏱️ minimum 4 hours, preferably overnight
3
Drain and reserve marinade: When ready to cook, drain the pork cubes, reserving all the marinade liquid and the bay leaves. Pat the pork pieces dry with paper towels; this helps achieve a better sear.
⏱️ 5 minutes
4
Fry the pork: Heat the olive oil or lard in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat (around 190°C / 375°F). Once the oil is shimmering hot, carefully add the pork cubes in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, until deeply golden brown and caramelized on all surfaces. Remove the browned pork to a plate and set aside.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes
5
Reduce the marinade: Pour off any excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Return the skillet to medium heat. Pour in the reserved marinade (including the bay leaves). Bring to a simmer and let it bubble and reduce for about 5-7 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. The sauce should thicken slightly.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes
6
Combine and finish: Return the fried pork cubes to the skillet with the reduced marinade. Stir to coat the pork. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the pork to reabsorb some of the sauce and heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Discard the bay leaves before serving.
⏱️ 2-3 minutes
