Steps:
- The day before, or at least 3 hours before, cut the ribs into large pieces and set aside. In a deep dish, mix the red crushed red pepper very well with the crushed garlic, paprika, the wine and a pinch of salt. Add the meat and mix well. Cover and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight. When you're ready, place the meat in a thick-bottomed pan together with the marinade. Heat the pan and add the lard or oil. Cook for approximately 10 minutes on high heat. Lower the heat and cover with a lid. Cook on a very low heat for 2 hours and 45 minutes, or until the meat is very tender and it peels off the bone, stirring gently from time to time. Rectify the salt and sprinkle with white and black pepper. Mix and cook for another 5 minutes over low heat. Remove the pan from the heat, let it sit with the lid on for 10 to 15 minutes, drain the fat and serve. Recipe & Photo Credit: receitas.mundoazores.com

Steps:
- Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet over high heat. Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops and sear them until they're nice and golden, about 2 minutes per side. (No need to completely cook the chops at this point.) Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium high, then throw in the whole cloves of garlic. Stir them around and cook until they get nice and golden brown, a couple minutes. Pour in the red wine, then add the bay leaf. Stir it around and cook, raising the heat if necessary, until the sauce is reduced and thick, several minutes.
- Stir in the beef broth (you can add more if it needs the liquid) and add the chops back to the skillet, arranging them so they're swimming in the sauce. Cook the chops in the sauce for a few minutes, then add the balsamic. Shake the skillet to get it to distribute, then cook for a couple more minutes, or until the pork chops are done.
- Remove the chops from the skillet once more, then let the sauce reduce a little more if needed, until it's very thick and rich and the garlic is soft. Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle in a little salt and pepper.
- Arrange the pork chops on a platter, then pour the whole skillet of sauce (including the garlic) over the top. Serve with Lemony Green Beans if desired.
- Snap off the stem ends of the green beans or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife.
- Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the butter. (It helps to use a pan with a light-colored bottom, so you can keep track of the color.) Swirl the pan occasionally so the butter cooks evenly. As the butter melts, it will begin to foam. The color will progress from lemony yellow to golden tan to, finally, a toasty brown.
- Once you smell that nutty aroma, add the green beans and saute for 3 to 4 minutes so the beans take on a little color. Add the lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper, then transfer to a platter in batches with tongs.

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.

Steps:
- With a large mortar and pestle, mash the garlic, coarse salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and peppercorns into a fine paste. Transfer to a large bowl.
- With a mallet, flatten the pork medallions to 1/4 inch thick. Place in the bowl with the garlic mixture, tossing to coat. Cover, and marinate 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over high heat. Stir in the pork and remaining garlic mixture. Quickly brown pork about 1 minute on each side. Remove from heat, and set aside.
- Place red peppers into the skillet, and saute 2 to 5 minutes, until tender but firm. Pour white wine into the skillet, and scrape up the browned bits. Reduce heat to low, return pork to skillet, and continue cooking 10 to 15 minutes, to an internal temperature of 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
- Slice 1 1/2 lemons into thin rounds. Transfer the pork and pepper mixture to a serving platter. Squeeze juice of remaining 1/2 lemon over the pork and peppers, and garnish with the lemon rounds.

WINE AND GARLIC PORK (PORTUGUESE VINA DOSH)
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.

Steps:
- Whisk red wine vinegar, red wine, garlic, bay leaves, cloves, black pepper, salt, and thyme together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the pork, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 4 days, turning occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Drain the pork, reserving 1/2 cup of marinade. Put pork and reserved marinade in a baking dish.
- Bake in preheated oven until the pork is completely warmed, about 20 minutes. Drain as much liquid from the pork as possible.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the pork to the skillet in batches to prevent crowding; cook and stir in hot oil until completely browned and no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:
- To make the perfect torresmos, choose a pork belly with a good amount of meat and fat. The ratio should be about 60% meat to 40% fat.
- Score the pork belly deeply, but not all the way through to the meat. This will help the marinade penetrate the pork and will also help the pork belly crisp up.
- If you don't have time to marinate the pork belly overnight, you can marinate it for at least 4 hours.
- When cooking the pork belly, start by rendering the fat over low heat. This will help the pork belly crisp up and will also prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Once the fat has been rendered, increase the heat to medium-high and cook the pork belly until it is crispy and golden brown on all sides.
- Serve the torresmos immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Torresmos is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, crispy or tender, torresmos is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give torresmos a try. You won't be disappointed!
