Vinha D’alhos

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. boneless pork
  • 1 1/2 cups vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced or pressed)
  • 6 Hawaiian chili peppers (seeded and chopped) *can be substituted with another type of hot pepper like jalapeno*
  • 1 bay leaf (crushed)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 6 whole cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon sage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Cut pork into cubes (about 2 inch cubes or to desired size).

Mix together vinegar, garlic, peppers, bay leaf, salt, cloves, thyme, sage, and oil.

Pour mixture over the pork (I put everything inside a large Ziploc bag) and refrigerate overnight.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Take out pieces of pork (making sure items like cloves and bay leaf are off the pork) and fry in pan until completely and thoroughly cooked.
