Method

Meat Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into large chunks.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    In a bowl, mix salt, black pepper, paprika, and minced garlic. Rub this mixture all over the meat chunks.

  3. 3

    Marinate

    Place the seasoned pork in a large bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and chop the cabbage into quarters, peel and slice the carrots, chop the potatoes into large cubes, and dice the onion.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).

  2. 6

    Brown the Meat

    In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork chunks and brown them on all sides. Remove the pork and set it aside.

  3. 7

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and potatoes. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they soften slightly.

  4. 8

    Add the Pork and Marinade

    Return the browned pork to the pot with the vegetables. Pour in the white wine and add bay leaves and thyme. Stir to combine.

  5. 9

    Bake

    Cover the pot and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 2 hours or until the pork is tender and cooked through.

Serving

  1. 10

    Serve

    Remove the pot from the oven, discard the bay leaves, and let the dish rest for 10 minutes. Serve the Bairrada hot with the cooked vegetables.
