Bifana: Portuguese Sandwich
🔥 How It’s Made:
- Marinate the pork: Combine garlic, wine, bay leaf, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the pork soak for a few hours or overnight.
- Cook the pork: Sauté in olive oil, then simmer in the marinade until tender and infused with flavor.
- Assemble the sandwich: Toast the roll lightly, pile on the pork, and drizzle with pan juices.
🍽️ Variations:
- Spicy Bifana: Add piri-piri sauce or chili flakes.
- Lisbon-style: Often served plain, letting the pork shine.
- Northern-style: May include mustard or sautéed onions.
🧡 Pair It With:
- A cold Super Bock or Sagres beer
- A side of batatas fritas (fries)
- A dash of piri-piri for heat lovers
