Stan Joseph’s Vinha D’Alhos
(Portuguese Marinated Pork)
This is a wonderful, flavorful recipe developed by Stan Joseph, Dacor’s founder and 1st chef.
It has been a traditional holiday recipe in his family for years, and we are happy to pass it on to you!
4 pound rolled, boneless pork roast
1 cup red or white wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, mashed or minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp salt
1 tsp cracked black pepper
In a large casserole dish, mix all of the above ingredients and marinate the pork overnight in the refrigerator. Pierce the roast several times with a skewer and extend the marinating time an additional 12 hours. Preheat oven to 325˚ on Standard Bake. Place one rack in position 1, counting up from the bottom. Place roast in a covered roasting pan and braise with marinade. Baste with marinade once or twice during cooking. The roast’s internal temperature should be 160˚ in the thickest, middle section for medium.
Serves 8.
