LOMBO DE PORCO (Loin Of Pork, From Portugal)

A braised pork loin from Portugal!


The Stuff

2 lb. loin of pork
3 large onions
3 large tomatoes
3 large carrots
cilantro
1 Tbsp. lard
small bottle white wine 187ml or stock I used the wine
1 Tbsp. butter or more according to taste
pepper and salt

mixed, cooked vegetables


What To Do


Melt the butter and lard in a saucepan or casserole and
when hot, put in the pork; well rubbed in with the salt. Cook to
a nice brown color, turning it so that it is equally browned on
both sides.( I browned in frying pan and then put in casserole )

Then add the sliced onions, tomatoes, carrots, and a
little cilantro, and either the white wine or stock to moisten.

Season highly with salt and pepper and simmer gently for 2 to
2 1/2 hours until the meat is tender.
Place the loin on a hot dish
strain the sauce over it and garnish with cooked vegeta-
bles, such as eggplant, pimentos, carrots, peas, small pota-
toes, fried in a little butter.
I actually used yellow and green squash
carrots and baby potatoes....
I also actually put the sauce in a blender ....

This Meal was Fricking delish ...... and so simple ~~~~

that looks really good Aja, but it looks like it could do with a sauce of some kind. Creamy pepper maybe?
