A traditional Portuguese dish - got this from my mom. Serve this in a bun - crusty buns work best. Adapted from Ana Patuleia Ortins' Portuguese Homestyle Cooking
Ingredients:
3 -4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon hot pepper paste
3 teaspoons paprika
2 cups white wine
12 pork medallions, cut evenly about a 1/4 inch
1/2-3/4 cup olive oil (to fry in)
2 -3 large onions
Directions:
1. Do this the day before: Mash the garlic and salt to form a paste.
2. Add the hot pepper paste and 1 teaspoons of paprika.
3. Coat the medallions with this paste and put them in a shallow dish.
4. Pour the wine over all, make sure they all are covered.
5. Refrigerate over night.
6. When you are ready to cook them: Take the medallions out of the dish, and discard the marinade.
7. Heat 1/2 cup of olive oil over med-high heat.
8. Add the onions sautéing until brown.
