Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Pork shoulder
• 1 lb Clams
• 6 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Paprika
• 1 cup White wine
• 1 lb Potatoes
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 1/4 cup Cilantro
• 1/2 cup Black olives

Steps

1. Marinate the pork cubes 4 hours in wine, crushed garlic, paprika, and salt — the Alentejo trinity.
2. Brown the pork in olive oil until caramelized; set aside.
3. Fry cubed potatoes until golden and crisp; drain and salt.
4. Return the pork with its marinade and simmer 15 minutes into a rich sauce.
5. Add the clams, cover, and steam 5 minutes until they open; discard the stubborn ones.
6. Fold in the potatoes, shower with cilantro and olives, and serve at once — surf and turf, Portuguese style.
