Bifana · Lisbon
Thin slices of pork marinated in garlic, white wine and paprika, seared on the plancha and stuffed into a soft Portuguese papo seco roll, mustard optional.
The bifana grew up in Vendas Novas in the Alentejo in the early 20th century as roadside fuel for Lisbon-to-Madrid hauliers. It moved into the city after the 1960s as the canonical 2.50-euro working lunch, and O Trevo on Camoes has been most-cited since the 1990s.
