Torresmos-Portuguese Garlic Roasted Pork

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb fresh jalapeno (4-5 are plenty for us)
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1/4 cup paprika (sweet or hot, I use sweet)
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup red wine
• 10 garlic cloves, chopped
• 4 lbs boneless pork butt, cut into 8 pieces (I use thick cut boneless pork loin chops and reduce cooking time)
• 1/4 cup oil (for roasting, about 1/4 cup)
• salt & pepper, to taste

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. 2

   Place the peppers and salt into a food processor and mince.

3. 3

   Combine the minced peppers with the garlic, paprika, white wine and red wine in a large glass bowl.

4. 4

   Add the pork pieces to the marinade, making sure the pork is coated well.

5. 5

   Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

6. 6

   After 24 hours remove pork, and discard the marinade.

7. 7

   Pour oil into a large roasting pan, place the pork in the roasting pan and season with salt and pepper.

8. 8

   Roast at 375 degrees for about 1 hour (turn the pork regularly to make sure pork stays moist).

9. 9

   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.

10. 10

    I have not tried this yet, but was thinking of marinating a whole pork shoulder or loin roast and trying it in the crockpot.
