Carne de Porco a Alentejana
Marinated pork and clams cooked together with fried potatoes, cilantro, and white wine from the Alentejo region.
Why It Works
The seemingly odd pork-clam combination works because the briny clam liquor acts as a natural seasoning for the rich pork, while the paprika marinade bridges both.
