My Portuguese mother in law came over for dinner tonight so I wanted to play with the Portuguese cookbook and find something for the the grill.
Decided to do Roasted Pork with a sweet red pepper paste and portuguese roasted potatoes (Batatas Assadas)
Here we go-
Start with a chunk of pork loin, bay leaves, paprika, garlic, olive oil, and sweet red pepper paste
Grind the garlic, paprika, and bay leaves with a mortar an pestle and then add the pepper paste and olive oil
Score the pork loin in a crosshatch pattern and rub the pork with the paste getting the paste down into the slices
For the taters, toss new potato wedges with paprika, garlic, salt, pepper, parsley and olive oil and place in a roasting pan
Place the pork and taters on the MAK running @300 on BBQers Delight Oak. It's best to roast the meat with the potatoes to get the flavor of the drippings into the potatoes.
Looking good after a couple of hours
Taters done
Pork pulled @150, rested and sliced
Served up with a glass of Portuguese beer (Super Bock) and we are ready to go
Dinner is served
This came out awesome, the meat was simple with a great smoky pork flavor shining through and the potatoes were off the chart, imagine a smoked linguica flavor. This was a killer meal and we will definitely do this again.
