WINE AND GARLIC PORK (PORTUGUESE VINA DOSH)



Wine and Garlic Pork (Portuguese Vina Dosh) image

Ahh, 'Vina Dosh,' a Portuguese dish and tradition of my family during Christmas. It started getting passed down more than 80 years ago when my grandparents came to America from the Azore Islands! Easy to make, but lots of patience to wait for the marinade to make its magic. But, oh so worth the wait! As it was passed down to me, I share it with you. Serve with Portuguese Linguica, a pot of semi-sweet, bacon-laced baked beans, and some Portuguese sweet bread. Hawaiian sweet bread works in a pinch. You can use white wine or red wine in the marinade.

Categories     Pork

Time P1DT1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

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.

  • Marinate the pork overnight:This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the meat and make it more flavorful.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven:This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the pork from burning.
  • Cook the pork over low heat:This will allow the pork to cook through slowly and evenly without drying out.
  • Add the chili peppers, wine, and garlic towards the end of cooking:This will prevent them from burning and becoming bitter.
  • Serve the pork with your favorite sides:Rice, beans, or vegetables are all good options.
