Portuguese barbecued pork (Febras assadas) Step By Step

Ingredients

2 Pork
200ml White Wine
1/2 tsp Paprika
2 Lemon
1/2 Lemon Juice
Dash Olive Oil
To serve Mayonnaise
1 kg Potatoes
For frying Vegetable Oil

Instructions

STEP 1 Cut the tenderloins into 5 equal-size pieces leaving the tail ends a little longer.

Take a clear plastic bag and slip one of the pieces in.

Bash it into an escalope the size of a side-plate with a rolling pin and repeat with the remaining pieces.

STEP 2 Put the wine, paprika, some seasoning and pepper and the nectar of ½ a lemon in a container and stream in in the pork.

Leave to soak for 20-30 moments, while you get your barbecue to the stage where the coals are glowing but there are no flames.

STEP 3 To make the chips, fill a basin with cool aqua and cut the potatoes into 3cm-thick chips.

Soak them in the aqua for 5 moments and then change the aqua.

Leave for 5 more moments.

empty out and then pat parched on a towel or with kitchen paper.

STEP 4 bring to temperature the lubricate in a deep fryer or a deep heavy-based wok with a lid to 130C and lower the chips into the lubricate (in batches).

Blanch for 8-10 moments.

Remove from the lubricate and empty out well.

Place on a tray to cool.

Reheat the lubricate to 180C (make sure it’s burning or your chips will be soggy) and lower the basket of chips into the lubricate (again, do this in batches).

Leave to stew for 2 moments and then give them a little shake.

stew for another minute or so until they are well coloured and crisp to the touch.

empty out well for a few moments, tip into a container and dust with sea seasoning.

STEP 5 The pork will stew quickly so do it in 2 batches.

Take the pieces out of the marinade, rub them with lubricate, and drop them onto the barbecue (you could also use a chargrill).

stew for 1 minute on each side – they may flare up as you do so.

This should really be enough time as they will keep on preparing.

Take them off the barbecue and pile onto a plate.

Repeat with the remaining batch.

STEP 6 dish up by piling a plate with chips, drop the pork on top of each pile and pouring the juices from the plate over so the chips take up the flavours.

Top with a spoon of mayonnaise and a wedge of lemon.
