How to Make Portuguese Pork With Lemon

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork cubes and brown on all sides. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the paprika, cumin, and bay leaf. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, white wine, lemon juice, and orange zest. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, or until the pork is very tender.
  6. Stir in the chopped cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
