🍖 Carne Fiesta (Canarian Party-Style Pork)

🍽️ Serves: 4–6

⏱️ Prep Time: 12 hours marinating | Cook Time: 30–40 minutes

🧂 Ingredients

  • 1 kg (~2.2 lbs) pork shoulder or pork loin, cut into bite-sized chunks

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp sweet paprika

  • 1 tbsp oregano

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 2 tsp salt

  • 100 ml (~⅓ cup) white wine vinegar

  • 100 ml dry white wine

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • Optional: 1–2 bay leaves, or a pinch of chili flakes for spice

🥣 Instructions

1. Marinate the Pork:

  • In a large bowl, mix garlic, paprika, oregano, cumin, pepper, salt, vinegar, wine, olive oil, and lemon juice.

  • Add the pork pieces and stir well to coat evenly.

  • Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours).

2. Cook the Pork:

  • Heat a large pan over medium-high heat with a bit of oil.

  • Remove pork from marinade (reserve marinade) and brown the meat on all sides.

  • Once browned, pour in the marinade and let it simmer uncovered until the liquid reduces and the pork is tender — about 25–30 minutes.

3. Serve:

  • Traditionally served with papas arrugadas (wrinkled salt-boiled potatoes) or crusty bread.

  • Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges if desired.
