As a matter of fact, the first time I experienced this flavour profile was at a family dinner where my mom roasted a chicken marinated in a similar mixture. You could also grill the chops rather than frying, though if you do, add the olive oil to the marinade when you prepare it. While grilling the pork, you can simmer the reserved marinade in a small pot to make the sauce.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time: 20 minutes (plus overnight marinating)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Serves: 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<address>\u00bc cup white wine<\/address>\n<address>\u00bc cup wine vinegar<\/address>\n<address>1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice<\/address>\n<address>1 clove garlic \u2013 finely chopped or crushed<\/address>\n<address>1 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper<\/address>\n<address>1 teaspoon paprika<\/address>\n<address>\u00bd teaspoon kosher salt<\/address>\n<address>\u00bc teaspoon freshly ground black pepper<\/address>\n<address>1 tablespoon olive oil<\/address>\n<address>4 bone-in pork chops \u2013 4 ounces each<\/address>\n<address>\u00a0<\/address>\n<p><strong>Preparation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a small bowl, mix the wine, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, chili pepper, paprika, salt and black pepper.<\/p>\n<p>Place the pork chops in a heavy zipper seal bag and pour in the marinade. Move the chops around to ensure they are all coated, then remove the air from the bag, seal and place in the refrigerator overnight.<\/p>\n<p>After the chops have marinated overnight, remove them from the marinade, but no not discard the marinade. Preheat a heavy cast pan on medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the chops for five minutes on each side.<\/p>\n<p>Remove the chops from the pan and place on serving plates.<\/p>\n<p>Pour the remaining marinade into the pan and simmer for five minutes, whisking occasionally to reduce and thicken it. Spoon the sauce over the chops and serve immediately.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Portuguese-Chops.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Get the PDF and nutrition info<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surprisingly, the spice and acidity in this marinade work as well with chicken as they do with pork.
