Day 1 Marinating:
|
|
Mix
all of the marinade ingredients together (except tomatoes) in a large,
covered enameled
Dutch oven or aPyrex/
Corning ware type oven-proof large covered, bowl.
(7 - 8 quart capacity).
|
|
Trim
the membrane tissue from the tenderloins and discard.
(Some regular fat can
remain and will dissolve
|
during
cooking). Cut the tenderloins a third to half way through
every three inches
or so and liberally pierce
|
them
through with a knife.
(Place the whole tenderloins in the marinade and
refrigerate overnight, up to two days,
|
covered.
Stir occasionally.**)
|
|
|
|
Day 2 Slow
Cooking:
|
|
Remove
the Cacoila from the refrigerator 1/2 to 1 hour prior to cooking.
|
Pre-heat
the oven to 275 degrees.
|
|
Mix
in the can of tomatoes with juice to the pork and marinade.
|
Place
in the oven, reduce the heat to 210 - 220 degrees and slow cook
for
approximately seven hours.
|
(Optionally
stir every couple of hours if you are around or just let it go).
|
Remove
the Cacoila from the oven.
|
|
Check
the temperature of the marinade and pork with an instant-read thermometer.
|
The
marinade should be 200 degrees plus and the pork should be 180 degrees plus.
|
Remove
the bay leaves as you find them.
|
|
With
forks, tongs, etc. break apart the pork or shred into pieces or chunky,
as
you prefer, in the marinade.
|
Allow
to cool and absorb for 45-60 minutes, down to 140 degrees.
Place
in the refrigerator, loosely covered, on a trivet and refrigerate overnight.
|
|
|
Day 3 Spicy
Sauce:
|
|
Remove
the Cacoila from the refrigerator. Remove pork to a metal
colander over a
large bowl.
Push out as much
marinade as you can (with a potato masher, etc.)
into the bowl.
(Return drained Cacoila to the
refrigerator).
|
|
Combine
this liquid with remaining marinade
(should be approximately 7 - 8 cups) with
small pork pieces in a 4 quart saucepot.
Add 4-5 tablespoons of
wet crushed pepper to the pot.
(Optional - Add tomato
paste for a thicker sauce).
|
|
Bring
the marinade mix to a boil on medium-high heat in the
uncovered saucepot.
Reduce to simmer on mediumto
medium-low heat, for approximately
two to three hours,
stirring and scraping
the sides occasionally, until reduced by a third to a half.
|
|
|
|
(Yields
approximately 4 - 5 cups. You can +/- the reduction for less
spicy or more
spicy,
as you desire, or you can add
more or less wet crushed pepper in
the beginning of the process).
|
|
Allow
the sauce to cool down and refrigerate, loosely covered, overnight or
until
cold.
|
|
|
Day 4 Serving:
|
|
Reheat
individual portions with or without as much Spicy Sauce
as you may prefer.
(Or cold).
|
Serve
on fresh Portuguese rolls.
|
|
